unit and it had a graphics unit. Nothing like Onyx graphics, but I
would have liked that.

No, I have three left becasue I cleaned up and refurbished the others:

The PSUs are easy to repair.
I have three Indigos (left out of six),
Dead PSUs? At the Unix-AG we had six Indigos. Only one is alive. The
other machines died the suden PSU death. At home I have two Personal Iris (a 4D30 and a loaded
4D35), A R4k
with
the simple LG1 framebuffer and a R3k Indigo without
GFX. A R4k4-150
Indy, a R4k4-200 Extreme Indogo2, a R10k-195 Impact Indigo2 (the
machine
I am sitting in front of right now) and an Octane.
(R12k-300, ESSI +
ESI
dual head, 2 GB RAM, PCI card cage with additional
SCSI and FDDI,
total
of 36 GB disk, CD-RW, DLT)
I have an Indy R4400SC-150 as well. I was always rather disappointed
with its speed, though; it's considerably slower than most of the other
Indys. I never liked the look of the Indigo^2 so I don't have any of
those. I'd like your Octane, though,if you ever get tired of it ;-)
and a
16-processor x 180MHz R10K Origin2000.
A Origin2000 is nice, but I would prefere an
Onyx2000. ;-) > > What I really want one of these days is a

He. I have an extra machine room and run extension
cables through the
wall. So I don't care about noise. :-)
Ditto for my Origin (and the PDPs etc). The machine room is an
extension to the house, and I have UTP, serial lines, thinwire, and
fibre between m/c room and office.
