Those look really cool. I remember seeing them in computer mags when I was
uhhh, 7 or 8 years old. Drooled.

the cost of shipping,
I still have 2 Indys. One R4600/200 and one R5000/180. I also have a
Challenge S with an R4600 in it. These are easy to warehouse, but I
probably need to hoard up some Dallas clock modules for them, since they
often go bad and lose their MAC.
I have two R5000 Indys, four R3000 Indigos with various graphics, four
O2s (3 x R5K and 1 x R10K) and a 16-processor Origin 2000 so I can't
really complain about that sold Indy, except that there was some
personal history to it.
- a big
collection of SCSI and IEEE-488 cables,
Oh man, I threw away a bunch of serial and SCSI cables at one point only
to have to buy the same ones again years later. Ugh.
Exactly. I had to scrounge three from a friend last weekend. And then
discovered I'd also given away the only SCSI enclosure that would fit
the intended desk space without a lot omore work. Doh!
