Any other Onyx owners on the list?
Yes. I have a deskside RE2, and a rackmount dual-pipe IR.
Sweet, that makes three of us who have this configuration!

I emailed the guy at Reputable Systems (he's in Colorado, just "next
door" at 700miles away :). He wasn't interested in the Challenge/L
that was down in Trinidad, CO. He says they routinely get auctioned
off at UC Boulder for scrap prices. I am getting hints that the
3rd party market for SGI machines is drying up. That either means
that these machines are about to become as scarce, are about to become
available cheaply (because there's no 3rd party reseller market for
them) or both. Even the sci-vis guys at the UofU no longer use SGI
irion anymore -- just piles of linux boxes with fancy PC graphics
cards.
