SPARCstation 5 (code-named Aurora) is a workstation made by Sun Microsystems as part of their SPARCstation family. Released on March 29, 1994, the SPARCstation sold for between US$3,995 at the low end to US$11,395 at the high end (equivalent to $39,236–123,034 in 2024). Sun positioned the SPARCstation 5 as a low-cost model in the SPARCstation range, set to replace the earlier SPARCclassic from 1992. It is based on the sun4m architecture, and is enclosed in a pizza-box chassis. Sun also offered a SPARCserver 5 without a framebuffer. A simplified version of the SPARCstation 5 was released in February 1995 as the SPARCstation 4. Sun also marketed these same machines under the "Netra" brand, without framebuffers or keyboards and preconfigured with all the requisite software to be used as web servers. It was the fastest-selling Unix workstation up to that point, with 100,000 units selling within nine months of its introduction. Over 400,000 SPARCstation 5s were sold across its entire lifespan. Sun replaced it with the Ultra 5 in January 1998.
