The sale by Ableauctions includes over 300 servers, 300 networking devices plus hundreds of computers. One of the servers is the dazzling Sun Enterprise Ten Thousand, the most powerful server Sun Microsystems manufactures. The server is expected to fetch a fraction of its $1.5 million retail value.
