Im a relatively new user, but my hunt for my first system took years.
I feel if I had actively looked a decade ago I may have had more regular results.
anyone have interesting stories or tips on hunting an Onyx down?

I have been contacting University's and old server maintainer co's but no luck so far.
I would be interested to read your discovery stories too.

Cheers

There was recently one up with a recycler in Coventry, RI, but it was just sold. SGI gear does show up on eBay fairly regularly, although fewer of the larger systems. Patience, persistence, and staying active in communities like this are probably your best bet.

I know that Dodoid has an Onyx and did a video on it (totally shameless plug for Dodoid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo3lUw9GUJA). Maybe he can chime in with more information on how he got the machine as well.
