Someone seems to want it. Bidding is at $250,000 and

If you go to Amazon today and buy just the CPUs and RAM, that will
cost you around 21 million dollars. So I imagine those used parts are
still worth substantially more than the current high bid. The close of
the auction should be interesting.
Still pretty sure nobody intends to re-install and run any part of the
whole system, but who knows. Maybe there are other SGI systems still
out there.
