I have a small SGI collection (a dozen and counting,
including the Onyx2,
Origin 2000 rack and rack Onyx 10000) and, to be honest, I mostly collect
them because... well, they look cool, and when I was in a position where I
couldn't collect (a. New Zealand, b. No space) I drooled over them.
Weta Digital in NZ had *masses* of SGI kit - wandering around their machine
room was fun. I wonder if it's still all there... probably been ditched for a
load of PCs by now :-(
I'd love a big SGI - Indy/Indigo/4D machines seem reasonably plentiful (for
purchase+shipping costs at least) but the big stuff seems pretty rare (&
uneconomical to move long distances)
cheers
