[rescue] Sun Blade 2500 Beige?

[Mark M]

The scsi subsystem is also faster in the silver and I think it
suppors faster DDR.

The cpu cooler is also patterned the same as a xeon 603, so if you only
have one CPU, that'll save you some money. I was able to upgrade mine to
dual with parts on hand, though I did find out  that I have a US3 with a
bad memory controller (!).

Xerox coupled those systems with their large document
processors/publishers, it is indeed just a Blade 2500 red.

Love mine, cleaned up really nicely also :-)
