WTB: Sun SPARCStation IPX / Classic X - 25/07/2002 17:09

Hello All

Here is another crazy WTB from me....

The background: I recently purchased a few Rio Receivers. Now I wish to build a secondary computer to act as a MP3 file server. Through this board, I found a new motherboard that suits my needs perfectly: The VIA EPIA 800 Mini-ITX.

Trouble is, there are not many suitable cases yet on the market and unfortunately, the ones I happen to like are extremely expensive (like this one). Today I found a Mini-ITX user's project which I would like to try myself. It requires an old Sun SPARCStation case to do it with. If any one out there has an old Sun sitting around, I would love to have it

The SPARCStation case project page can be found here

Thanks -

Dude, they sell on eBay for next to nothing. And I'm talking like $10-$20.

Kewl, I was going to check there tonight but I wasn't sure anyone would try to flog something so old and niche-like...but then again, I am looking to buy one aren't I....

Thanks Bitt

Hry Bitt

Thanks for your advice, I was successful in getting a SparcStation Classic X off of Ebay today for a whopping five bucks Sure beats $130 for a new case eh?
