Yes, if the monitor supports whatever resolution/scan rate the Sun put out. A lot of the older ones used weird (fixed) resolutions; the SS10 might be a bit more sensible. You'll also need an adapter to convert from the Sun 13W3 video connector to SVGA. Anyplace that specialises in cables 'n' connectors should be able to round one of those up. A good place to start for questions like this would be www.sunhelp.com. I trust you're going to install some kind of BSD on this beast?
