By 2007 Sun knew the writing was on the wall for their workstation line, so they decided to produce a final swan song. Apart from looking fantastic, was it all Sun users hoped for, was it a worthy machine for Sun to close out on.

Thanks to Pete, and Tim for letting me use their footage, as I forgot to film anything at the last event.
