• Sun hardware reseller in Europe

    From Sehnsucht@21:1/5 to All on Fri Aug 31 17:34:22 2018
    Anyone knows where to buy Ultra workstations in Europe and avoid the huge shipping costs which deals from US vendors are inevitably burdened by?
    eBay hasn't proved of any help either with this, privates are almost always Americans; I'm particularly interested in Sun Blades 1/2k

    Tom Tobin at Acara (uk) is no longer in business. He was one of the
    best for older Sun kit, but don't know who is left now. I have a
    collection of things like Ultra II, a 280R a blade 1000 and 1500, but
    would need to pull out of the store and check them out to make sure
    they are still ok.

    Where are you based and how would the shipping be from the uk ?...

    Hi,
    Thanks a lot for your prompt reply; I confess I was simply testing
    the water, as I'll have to wait to relocate before finding the
    room to place a workstation. I'm in Rome, Italy: UK may not be
    the best but it surely preferable compared with USA, hence good
    to know there's still some reseller in Europe, and thanks
    again.
    If everything is is place, I should be writing here again in a
    year, hopefully less. needless to say that I don't expect the
    Blades to still be available by that time and feel free to sell
    the to the best buyer if you happened to find any

    Best regards,
    PV
