That old Sun gear was pretty much unkillable - I have seen a few V240's with similar uptimes but they were not still hosting mission critical services :)

I miss that kind of gear and the awesome service you got before Oracle bought the company.

yeah the ultra 10 were solid....if you kept power to them,  we had an issue where the HDD got thermal shock if you powered them down.

so stupid reliable till you rebooted.  we imaged drive prior to reboot as we ended up with about a 1 in 3 chance the HDD would not spin back up.

I installed windows 98 se on a gigabyte iram back in the mid 2000s.

Amazing bootup speed.

Took about 19 seconds from power button press to desktop, and about 15 seconds of that was the bios, This was before you could get an ssd.

 

 

still the most reliable windows I've touched.

most of what I touch now is *NIX so not had to support M$ setup for a bit

Definitely had similar issues with the old SCSI drives in V240's when we had to move them but if you left them running they were bulletproof apart from the tiny twin 20mm fans on the heatsink. We had it down to the point where we could slide the box out on the rails, pop the lid and do a replacement of the busted fan while the box was live as they were so easy to work on.

Had hands down the best system ever in those machines if you ever had to replace / migrate them - all of the system ID info, MAC's, ALOM settings etc were all kept on a little smartcard in the front of the machine, just plug the replacement chassis in, swap the drives over into the same bays, swap the smartcard and power on :)

I preferred win 8/8.1 over the Windows 10 start menu.

I hate Win10 start menu with a god damned passion, to the point where it's made me not care about the entire thing and left the start menu in a complete mangled heap and I just search for everything now.

It just used to be so nice and organizable in the way you wanted it to be, now its just.. got options you can't undo, apps you can't remove, nested folders that show the way MS wants and jesus christ it irritates me.

Hi all,

Real quick one as I know this is the most used thread in the Vic section. 

Does anyone know of a Silver R33 GTR on black 18" rims that has been stolen?

I work in Mulgrave opposite the BMW headquarters and a Silver R33 just pulled up exactly where mine was almost stolen from and performed a launch in an otherwise odd location.

The paranoid part of me is suggesting it's the same shithead who tried to take mine. Maybe i'm going overboard and its just someones car being tuned. Does anyone know of this car?

Lol blows engine and knows it, pouring out smoke, doesn't think to get off the racing line for half a lap

After spending the better part of a session blocking other cars.

That corner isn't one you want to suddenly find out you have gone over something and can't slow down for.

Sharing the road with their fanbase is bad enough

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
