Thanks. That helped a lot with regards to the rack. Does anyone now know if any of the Microsun equipment would be usable in a windows based home server.

Probably not.
Sun MicroSystems products included computer servers and workstations built on its own RISC-based SPARC processor architecture as well as on x86 based AMD's Opteron and Intel's Xeon processors. They originally used Motorola 68000 family central processing units for the Sun-1 through Sun-3 computer series. The Sun-1 employed a 68000 CPU, the Sun-2 series, a 68010. The Sun-3 series was based on the 68020, with the later Sun-3x variant using the 68030.

BTW, Sun was acquired by Oracle for US$7.4 billion on January 27, 2010.

OK. Thanks. Well, usable or not I won the bid today on the Sun server. Maybe the rack will be a good starting point for my build. You gotta admit that at around six feet tall it will hold more stuff then the average home server should have in it. There is probably room to house it's own refrigeration unit. I really appreciate your help and information. I know that you guys are all well out of my league when it comes to computers period, and I thank you for taking the time to help me. I love to tinker, engineer, and build so what sort of creature gets created in the end we will just have to wait and see. Please feel free to add any ideas anyone has.

You're welcome. And best of luck with your new toys.
