[Indigo PSUs]
The PSUs are easy to repair.
One of us tried to
repair them. He has experience in these things but
was not able to get them back to live.
I never liked the look of the Indigo^2 so I don't
have any of those.
I don't care much about the look. The R10k Impact is a bit
limited in
memory / bus bandwith and IO, but still a nice machine.
I'd like your Octane, though, if you ever get
tired of it ;-)
Well. I bought it (without PCI options and single head) about a year
ago
for 300,-EUR. R12k-300 (E)SI Octanes are still the "sweet spot".
:-) The O2K I helped look after in Computer Science
was a 32
processor unit and it had a graphics unit. Nothing like Onyx
graphics, but I would have liked that.
To be onest: I don't have an application
for that many CPUs. I need one
or two faster CPUs, not several slower CPUs. Nevertheles an Onyx2 would
be a nice machine for "personal workstation". ;-)
