I wished I lived next to a Fry's right now

That is my sunfire. right now I am too busy to open it, and even if I did open it, it would be as useful as a door stop as I am missing a $15 cable (which I found out about thanks to this post on sunfire fanatics ).

I’m kinda pissed, as when I ordered the cable, the guy said it would take 3 days… when I called him again today it went up to ‘8’ (from today). Of course the cisco cable was a custom job, and I don’t feel right cancelling on him and just ordering for someone else.

now the bigger problem.

where do I put this thing? :-) and should I do it before my wife asks me how much this thing cost?

initial reaction: it’s light, and sun’s has a good supply chain.. when they make a promise (of delivering it) they keep it.

but this time isn’t wasted.. I’ve figured out what I am going to benchmark (my forum app) and I can do the x86-64 version now.

    You should have said that you needed one. With enough cisco gear going in, you end up throwing those cables away.
