I have used the very similar Netra X1... It is an ok little box that's very cheap... $995 with 128 MB of RAM and a 400 MHz Sparc II when we bought it less then a year ago... You can now get the V100 with 256 MB of RAM and a 550 MHz Sparc II for $995... Some things to point out you may have missed...

1. The drives are IDE... It comes with a 40 GB and you can have a total of two of them...
2. It uses a fairly standard SDRAM ( MUCH cheaper then normal Sun memory - You can buy 512 MB DIMM's at www.crucial.com for $120 ) and it holds a total of 2 GB

A lot of machine for $1000 as long as it fits you needs... We have used a couple as development database machines and they were fine... Most of ours are dedicated to application use (we have 20 of them)...

Hello everyone.

Just want to ask if anybody tried to use a SunFire v100 as a database server.
I was told this is a headless server, but otherwise, very similar to any other sun servers. Looks like an oracle database on this baby can work enough as a development server. Would like to get anybody's opinion. Will oracle work on this or not?

Thanks.

=)
