Let's cut through some of this crap. If you want a reasonably quiet sparc64 designed to be put on a desk, your fastest choices are a
Sun Blade 100 or Sun Blade 150 (~20% faster) Of course these machines are 15+ years old and something like Pentium II speed. There are also Sun Blade [12]xxx models that are more powerful, but they don't get any quieter. The Blade 150 is now my noisiest machine at home. My Xeon-based Dell PowerEdge T20 is quieter. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber na...@mips.inka.de
