I recently got a SunFire V210 which should be fairly similar to yours. It's working fine. (I've got a single CPU only though.) I tried to make it less noisy, with moderate success. The trickiest part was to have the power supply accept a lower speed fan, because the PS evaluates the fan speed internally by itself with some analog circuitry. Unfortunately, as cool as the idea of the ALOM appears at first, with a standby power of ~ 15 W, you'd better power it off with a hardware switch while you don't need it. -- cheers, Joerg .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
