Ah, I didn't realize that was the case for the 1x00 series as well.
It's hard to find stuff online about this first generation of SGI
machines.

Considering the size of the 4D series machines I have,
that isn't that
surprising. Each deskside machine would pretty much have to be shipped on
its own pallet.
Yep.
[...] Also,
the 1x00
models were more like terminals and the 3x00 models were more like
workstations, so there are other differences besides performance and
capacity.
I think you are thinking of the 1100 and 1200. The 1400 used the larger
20-slot deskside chassis (same as your 3100) and was a complete
workstation with a hard drive for local storage.
