Here's my Sparc hardware collection thus far:

Sparc Ultra 5
360 Mhz Sparc IIi CPU
512 Megs of RAM
80 gig IDE HD
DVD+-RW
Sun PCI Chimera card

Currently running Solaris 10 as I'm trying to get the SunPCI card working

recently I picked up a:

Sun Fire v120
650 Mhz Sparc IIe CPU
No ram
CD-ROM
36 gig SCSI HD

aAd I just bought 2 gigs of ECC memory tonight for the v120. Gonna get another 2 gigs and then probably larger hard drives then slap Gentoo on it. I've gotta find another place to put it though because the fans are DAMN loud :lol:

Recently added a V210 with dual 1GHz CPU's and 2GB RAM (2*512MB per CPU).
Just need to get thermal control to work = lot less noise.

Hostname: heracles.fast.ayerie.org
Machine: Sun Ultra 80
CPU: 4x UltraSPARC II 450MHz, 4MB L2 cache
RAM: 2048MB
Disks: 1x Fujitsu 73GB (Linux), 1x Seagate 36GB (Solaris), 1 250GB Western Digital USB

I have a rather minimal Sun Utlra 5 Workstation too.
It got 256 MB ECC RAM and a 10GB HD.

Runs Gentoo for some time now, using the bew baselayout + openrc, shorewall and a few other things.
Did not have any problems at all.

I got hold of an E4500 recently.
8x UltraSPARC II 400MHz, 12GB RAM, SBUS I/O

First ever SMP machine for me, and when it gets going it's very impressive!
Single CPU jobs are alright too.
Next project is getting gnat on it for Ada..

I have an ultra V with 512MB of RAM and a 20GB hd.

I am installing gentoo on it right now and at the end of the week-end, it should become my router/firewall.

Soon to come (hopefully), Sunfire V100, UltraSparc IIi @ 650mhz, 1gb ram, 2x40gb disks.

Edit: Got the v100 working, should be 3 more comming soon

Had a few additions to my Sparc collection in the last few months:

An old Ultra 10, 336 MHz, 1Gb ram (if I remember correctly), 2x20Gb hdd's
A V100, 500MHz, 2Gb RAM, 2x200Gb hdd's, of which only about 127Gb is usable
Most recent addition:
2xBlade 2500's, 2x1.26Ghz Sparc IIIi's, 8Gb RAM, 2x200Gb IDE hdd's (yes, that really works!)

Nice hardware :-)

Just got 2 Sun Enterprise 220R, 2 CPUs, 2GB of RAM, 2 x 4.9 GB SCSI HDD and 1 Sun Enterprise 420R, 4 CPUs, 4GB of RAM and 2 x 4.9 GB SCSI HDD.
This adds up to an Ultra 10 I picked up in 2003.

Recently got three very nice Blade 2500 machines in ebay - 2 x 1.2GHz SPARC IIIi cpu's, 8Gb RAM, xvr graphics card, no hdd's. Fitted IDE hard drives in them and everything runs very nicely :D

I own two SPARCS:

SS10 w/ 9GB SCSI HDD + quad-port Eth controller running oBSD
Ultra10 w/ 4GB HDD running Kubuntu

My plan is to turn the Ultra 10 into a MythTV system using Gentoo. Testing it right now with various video cards to get TV output.
