Wanted: Used Solaris workstation or HP-UX

[marchk]

I'm looking to get a hold of one or a few used Solaris and HP-UX workstations.
They don't necessarily need to be in working order. But must be repairable.

how much are you planning on spending...you can get old school IPX/IPC workstations for less than 20 bucks...and after that, the sky's the limit...need some more info...you doing anything processor intensive...or just making a router/file server?

[marchk]

That's my price range exactly. I'm just looking to get some hardware to play with. Looking to use the Solaris OS to study for the Certifications. I'd appreciate any info you have.

well, i've seen alot on ebay lately...i have the luxury of having a goodwill computers (in pittsburgh) that i frequent, they usually have stacks of IPC/IPX's for 10 bucks a pop...but, if i were you, i'd start on ebay...also, i'm not 100% sure if the older suns will run newer versions of solaris well enough for you to accurately study for solaris certs...i was thinking about doing the same thing. my alternative, i have solaris for x86...gonna hook it up once i get my oracle certification out of the way...i'll post some links to systems for ya.

Are you interested in a Sparc 10...

I have one sitting around...

Let me know if you are interested...

:bandit:

[marchk]

What's in it? i.e, processor, memory, etc...

How much do you want for it?

[donchristo]

I'm not sure any longer...

I know it is a dual processor...

Memory ?????

And the disk again...????

I was hoping for $50 and shipping...

Let me know...

[marchk]

Well since I can't get a better description on it, I guess I might pay $50 and you pay shipping. Does that come with a SUN monitor?

[tomas316]

it would cost over 50$ to ship a sparc and sun monitor... Those things are huge!

[marchk]

You're right. But only about $15 to ship a workstation.

I'm sticking to items I find local anyway. I hate shipping.
