First thing, this is not my machine, but someone i know who asked me to post this. -- Tilburg University in the Netherlands wants to get rid of an Origin 2000 sgi 2400. It consists of 3 cabinets of about 2 meters high; width about 22 inch. Out of the 4 panels present, 3 are still fully functional. Is has 48 GB RAM and 24 CPU's running at 200 MHz. It's free for anybody willing to arrange transportation. Please reply to joostvb+sgi at uvt.nl if you're interested. If you plan to use the machine for Free Software work, you'll get a priority handling :) Here's a picture of what these things look like: http://db313.ath.cx/~sp/auctions/SGI-O2000_main_large.jpg And here's a description of such a machine: http://cgi.ebay.com/Silicon-Graphics-SGI-Origin-2000-Full-Rack-Server-Runs!… 3 racks, each of them is _probably_ : Width Height Depth Weight 71 cm 185 cm 102 cm 317 kg (28 inches) (73 inches) (40 inches) (700 lb) The racks have once been lifted by 6 strong man. --Joost van Baal, 2009-04-28 --------------- I think it allmost falls within the 10 year rule ;-) (origin's started shipping in what, 97?)
