I looked. reputable.com wants $85 for a bare O2 sled. That's a little
wedge of plastic with a tricky lever on it. Ouch. I paid $20 for each
for my O2's (missing the sled.)
Those are legitimate prices for SGI hardware, for business use. But
we're hobbyists here.
O2 sleds on eBay don't get bid up that high in my observation, btw.
First off, if anyone ever needs some server space
to just dump
stuff, I've got about a gig of space I can dish out for files and
stuff, and ~15 gigs of b/w a month for usage, over charges are
negligable anyway, so feel happy to have fun with whatever you
upload (email me for info)
Also, I've got an O2 with all sorts of goodies (loaded with ram,
analog a/v board, etc) but no drive sled! I check ebay often but
(unless I'm doing something stupid) I don't see any.
www.reputable.com generally has them. The sleds I've seen on ePay
generally have disks on them and go for stupid money. Reputable will
probably end up being cheaper.
