Скачать или смотреть What is inside this clear Sun SPARCstation LX? Disassembly, BlueSCSI hard drive backup, PSU recap

Continuing this year's trend of working on computers that I've never worked on previously, let's see what's inside this Sun SPARCstation LX. It happens to have a clear case and was apparently used by Sun Microsystems for trade shows. These were supposed to be destroyed, so it's likely that there are very few of these remaining.

After seeing This Does Not Compute's video about a similar model, I'm scared about what the insides of the power supply look like with capacitors that seem to leak similarly to a Macintosh IIsi. So we'll disassemble the machine and start that process. And we'll also see if we can back up the hard drive using BlueSCSI initiator mode.
