Any idea what something like that (heavy I suppose!0 would cost to ship to the USA?

We used it as a test-machine and it was running fine until we

powered it off some months ago.

 

There's a fully equipped Sun M8000 in our computing center.

It will retire next year and if someone is interested - let me know.
