Well today I found...

One of our clients gave us an old Sun SPARCStation 10, to rescue data from it.

Dual 50MHz processor, 256MB RAM (in 12 DIMMs) and an external SCSI array with a massive 9GB capacity. Running Solaris 8, which must have been an upgrade. The graphics chipset had no framebuffer… that is it had 0 bytes of graphics memory, and yet could run a full CDE desktop in a glorious 16 colours. Booted up just fine.

The best $25k+ you could spend in 1992-ish :)
