[Intuition]

Ah, to have a nice big purple Tezro deskside.

For a span of years there was always at least one or two Tezros on Ebay.

Someone in Europe or China, can't remember, had a very nice one for $8000 that had everything maxxed out.

Now days you are lucky if you can find a rackmount version for under $2000.

I would echo that getting a good Octane or Octane 2 with dual processor will give you a pretty good Irix and 3D software experience for much less money and likely less hardware troubleshooting as well.

Do you remember what 3D software you did the renders in?
