I didn't know you had another SGI box ;)
A couple people I've known who ended up with old SGI gear thought they
were going to create some kind of fancy animations with this kind of
hardware, so I never know what to think now.
Sounds like you at least have an original VGX chassis then. It is possible
someone upgraded some of the boards, but the only way you'll be able to
tell is to pull them and cross reference the part numbers.

The video really was nice for its day, but a lack
of texture memory
somewhat limits it for today's graphics intensive software.
Well, on one hand, yes, but on the other hand, I like my Indigo 2 Elan with
no texture memory just fine. I'm also considering trying to dig up a
reality engine for the thing, at which point it would have texture memory. What color is
the wrap-around part on the front/top of the
machine? The
standard colors that I'm familiar with are; blue for a VGX,
red for a GTX,
and green for GT.
It's blue.
