@nightowl8936 Nope. I was running it not long ago for heat when my furnace was down, and it stayed at about 1.6 kW on my Kill-A-Watt. It did keep it nice and warm in here though. :)
hi can you possible put a video showing the rear of the case and internals have an idea for a project would to see inside and check it out appreciate it :)
I have Sun Enterprise 450 with 4x300MHz processors (taked from my old Sun Ultra2 workstations) and four DC-DC 45W converters. I buy that hardware last year for symbolical sum: 120$, but seems like that E450 have broken motherboard :-( So I wait when seller who sell mo-bo that support CPU up to 480MHz freq. and with normal shipping price to Europe/Latvia.
Good luck, dude. I'd start with obtaining Solaris installation media and read up on basic Solaris admin skills. A v890 is a beast - can you even power it in your home? IIRC, an 890 takes 3350w.
This is a V880, which is like the little brother of the V890 ... I recall the V890 requires a 240 volt supply, but the V880 does not.
I think this is the last generation of power server, where they were designed like mainframes, for high performance and scalability and reliability, but consumes a fair amount of power.
@nightowl8936 I'm aware it's a v880. I've since traded it in on something smaller and faster, but not nearly as impressive to look at. The v890 does -not- require 240v. It does, however, require 35a on 120v. I've run all kinds of crazy hardware on house power, including a 64-way Silicon Graphics Origin 3400. I had extension cords going to about every circuit in the house for that one!
hi man i can get a sun fire v890 for about $250 yes thats right $250 but i dond know the first thing about servers and how to conect a monotor or or seting up a pc so it can see the sever or about unix if you cant tel me a bit aboyt it thanks
In the video, it's configured as 6-way, but I have it configured as 8-way now. With the addition of the fourth node board, it now contains 16 gigs of RAM. :)
@johnwest19992 I have an IRIS Indigo, an Indigo2, an Origin 300, and an Onyx 3200.

Does the machine have a low-power mode it can go into when its not being used, but without turning itself off?
A standby mode? 1600 watts is some power ... which is probably its only shortcoming. The V880z with XVR-4000 is an incredible machine.

Sun Microsystem made amazing hardware! I love it :) Also as I have say, I have two Sun Ultra2 Creator3d workstations and one Sun Netra X1 server.
