The specs on it are sweet. http://forums.nekochan.net/viewtopic.php?f=17t=16723580 A little reference for setting up the video output. --- On Thu, 4/21/11, Christiano F.

Re: Sun blade 1500 experiences ?
I have one of the Sun Blade 1500 sitting right next to me. Loud as a jet engine and heavy. The SunPCI cards they shipped with are worthless in anything but Solaris 10, but overall the machine works great. I did have issues with the video card in X with OpenBSD, but console only worked fine On Thu, Apr 21, 2011 at 13:57, Super Biscuit super_bisq...@yahoo.comwrote: The specs on it are sweet. http://forums.nekochan.net/viewtopic.php?f=17t=16723580 A little reference for setting up the video output. --- On Thu, 4/21/11, Christiano F.

Re: Sun blade 1500 experiences ?
Sunblade1000 for a desktop. I run OpenBSD on it at times. Mach64 card 1024x768. if you have a better card then the graphics should be better. You can do a lot more with it than just run emacs. --- On Fri, 4/15/11, Christiano F. Haesbaert haesba...@haesbaert.org wrote: From: Christiano F. Haesbaert haesba...@haesbaert.org Subject: Sun blade 1500 experiences ? To: OpenBSD Questions misc@openbsd.org Date: Friday, April 15, 2011, 7:24 PM Hi there, I'm consider buying a sun blade 1500, mainly cause I found a great deal on our local ebay. I was thinking in replacing my aging ultra 5 as my local server, but it turns out it seems like a nice desktop system. Is anyone using a similar machine for desktop ? How is performance in general (Considering X and such) ? Anyone tried 1680 x 1050 ? I'm a heavy emacs user, other than that, I don't run any other significant program (cpu/mem/io) (only mutt, irssi e cia...). Here are the specs: http://www.sun.com/desktop/workstation/sunblade1500/specs.xml Well, I'm getting it anyway, if not for desktop for my server replacement (2x 64bit pci :-)) Does anyone has a dmesg for that ? Thanks
Re: Sun blade 1500 experiences ?
Thank you all for the replies, I'm getting the machine but will use it headless, it seems it isn't nice enough for replacing a x61s. Thanks again. -- Christiano Farina HAESBAERT Do NOT send me html mail.
