Setting up a Sun Ray 150



Unboxing a complete new old stock Sun Ray 150 thin client from Sun Microsystems. This machine came out in 2000 and was a relatively early Sun Ray in the lineup. We’ll unbox it, get a Sun Fire V240 setup as the server, and see if we can get it working.

    Percussive maintenance should always be the 1st step (or 2nd, after turning it off and then on again) 🙂

    Don't stick your credit card in there it will read out the number in your session ID. We learned that the hard way :-/

    Years ago I received a dvd of Sun Solaris and later Open Solaris from SUN. Did not even ask for it. Very cool to play around with it.

    Yeah i bet it's deftly has caps that went south in the screen they need to get warmed up to start working i bet..

  7. @JohnMarston-bh1zf

    November 10, 2024 at 5:17 pm

    i used to repair lcd monitors back in high school and some of them had florescent lights so after you waited for them to warm up they would "just work". that might be the case.. dont get zapped by the caps if you try to fix it though they hold charge for well over a week

    The idea of the "hotdesking" – having a smartcard that you just plug into the computer terminal and have your session work as a network KVM fascinates and intrigues me.
    I've wanted (futilely) to be able to just use my beefy desktop tower over my home LAN from a laptop, in a way that means I don't have to worry about what machine I was doing stuff on.
    It's impressive to see a 10/100 network connection do the LAN-KVM stuff, my intuition leant to it being hard to push lots of video at low latency across a LAN even with 1Gbit ethernet.

    I do hope to see more in-depth stuff on the particulars of the smartcards (CCID/PCSC, interfaces,the varied types of cards, and programming them to actually do something useful) as well as more about "hotdesking" LAN-KVM stuff.

    Sun keyboards always sucked. Alphastations had the best keyboards at the time.

    Percussive maintenance!

  15. @einsteinx2

    November 10, 2024 at 5:17 pm

    Hey now, nothing wrong with a little percussive maintenance. Sometimes you gotta show these machines who’s the boss. 😂

  16. @ssokolow

    November 10, 2024 at 5:17 pm

    Huh. Interesting coincidence on the prices. While it didn't have a built-in monitor, I think I also paid $80 (though CAD in my case), shipped, for the New Old Stock HP t5530 thin client that I swapped a bigger DoM into and converted into a tiny Win98SE retro PC.

  17. @McCavity2

    November 10, 2024 at 5:17 pm

    18:18 This might actually be a common thing for Sun monitors – or, speaking more generally, monitors produced in that time. It might be the screen’s backlight that‘s causing this behaviour. I still have two Sun 27“ monitors sitting around (didn’t use them in ages, though) and one of them has very similar symptoms. Sometimes it even needs multiple slaps / power cycles but eventually it‘ll work. I‘m no electrical engineer, either, so I never bothered to find out what’s actually happening 😂

    5:10 – on the "definitely ask for stories", I've gotten great info on some of my local Craigslist pick-ups.

    An original Macintosh 128k with a 1983 serial number, from a college professor who bought it day one and daily used it (after an Apple-official 512k upgrade) through 2001 to write papers! I bought it from him in 2008ish, and it came with many day-one accessories. Still works great.

    A second-generation (256kB RAM) IBM PC 5150 from its original owner – the former CEO of a company that wrote APL-language compilers. The MDA graphics card had a custom video ROM chip that allows it to show APL-custom characters. Plus the original ROM chip supplied. Again, still works great.

    A couple SGI rack-mount servers that had belonged to Weta Digital, and were used in the compute cluster to render The Lord of the Rings movies. (Sadly, no hard drives provided. But one still has its Weta Digital asset tag sticker. I have no idea how these made it over to the USA.)

    A bunch of "early multimedia PC" equipment, including a hand-made Creative Labs Sound Blaster early prototype. (Called "Killer Card" at the time.)

  19. @drgti16v

    November 10, 2024 at 5:17 pm

    Livermore, Ca checking in. I don't recall Access Graphics. Possibly sold equipment to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

    November 10, 2024 at 5:17 pm

    7:44 – Dude, for being retro, you don't know what a PS/2 is Without looking at the connector, the plastic block on the end sure says PS/2 to me.

  21. @ShaneBro

    November 10, 2024 at 5:17 pm

    24:21 – screw sack. I am going to use that to describe someone. I like that.

  22. @pcefulpolarbear

    November 10, 2024 at 5:17 pm

    dude you're a moron, this video was unwatchable. literally every line you say is cringe

  23. @straycatsean

    November 10, 2024 at 5:17 pm

    woah, we had those at my elementary school computer lab. I had a friend who's dad worked for Sun until the company went under.

  24. @donwald3436

    November 10, 2024 at 5:17 pm

    Percussive maintenance never fails lol.

  25. @Killerspieler0815

    November 10, 2024 at 5:17 pm

    yes, Display defect (bad contact and/or capacitors)

  26. @dafoomie

    November 10, 2024 at 5:17 pm

    I set up a bunch of Sun Ray 1's back in the day, we were on Solaris 8 and I think server version 1.2.

Can my Dell R720 Server Work Well as a Gaming PC?



Hello there and welcome to my video. In today’s video, I’ll be doing some stuff with my Dell R720 server that it really wasn’t ever meant to do; I’ll be using it as a desktop computer. I’ll try to play games on it, and even do a little bit of video editing.

Music, in order:
Beyond – Patrick Patrikios
The High Line – Causmic
