Two Octane 2 units
1. dual 400MHz V10 4608 MB RAM
2. single 60 MHz V6 7GB RAM

Indgo2 + Max Impact, 512 MB RAM

Origin 2K deskside - 8 x 400 MHz 8GB RAM - MX graphics mod
Origin 2k rack - 16 x 400MHz 16 RB RAM - graphic mod

I have had many other SGI systems in the past including a O3800 5 rack system in the past - utterly impractical ;-)

whats the MX graphics mod?

Whats the MX graphics mod?

Adding an Octane MGRAS graphics board (along some provision to attach a keyboard/mouse) to an O2k Deskside.

Usually involved swapping the latching mechanism from a lesser value O2k XIO board onto an SI or SE Octane graphics board. Usually onto an SI or SE half-height graphics board, though a full-height SSI/E or MXI/E was possible if you were willing to perform surgery on the O2k card cage. Then add PS/2 kb&m ports via an IO6G or a CAD-Duo PCI board in an XIO shoehorn.

Because it was a supported factory config, after the hardware was added the PROM machine type would change to "Onyx2 SI/MXI", which made an IRIX install with all the necessary graphics bits pretty straightforward.

Well although my collection of Jurassic boxes fluctuates a bit from time to time, generally it's been the same for years.

★ Iris Indigo Elan R4400mhz w/384mb of RAM, my first and oldest SGI. I got it when my old school lab was getting rid of them, it was the first machine I ever worked on back in the very early 90s, running Softimage at the school's (then) new computer animation lab.

★ O2 R12000 400mhz w/256mb of RAM. I kind of put this one together around 5 years ago by buying bits and pieces off eBay a la Frankenstein. It came with a boxed set of IRIX 6.5.5 so that's what it's still running.

★ TEZRO R16000 (4x700mhz) w/8gb of RAM and Vpro V12 graphics. This is my most recent acquisition, got it about 4 months ago and had a good learning process figuring out how to successfully install 6.5.30 on it, as it came with no drives whatsoever. However I recently received a new 6.5.30 drive from Ian Mapleson and it is chock full of goodies, so I've been having a blast the last week trying all the wonderful stuff I couldn't get installed on my own. (thanks Ian! )

★ Onyx 2X R4400@150MHZ w/256mb RAM + GE12/RE2
Also recently acquired, still undergoing refurbishment.

I also have a SUN Sparcstation Voyager and an Apple Macintosh Color Classic with the Mystic update that I recently swapped out the CRT on, works like new now!👍

*Octane 1 with 2x300mhz R12k's, 256MB RAM, 140GB harddrive and V6 graphics
*Fuel with 700mhz R16k, 4GB RAM, 2x140GB harddrives, V12 with DCD
*A broken Iris Indigo that I need to fix some day.
*A couple of incomplete O2's of mixed flavor.

all my SGIs are listed in my signature. I can add a couple other bits, as they all are working, and use a mechanical graphite SGI keyboard and 3-button SGi mouse on a Belkin VGA that completely supports all my systems. I do need a few more cables to use all four ports, but 3 is fine. they are nowhere close to being fully upgraded, but they are good enough for now. I am on the look for an Indybag though.

Hi everyone, I'm an Italian boy, collector of SGI and Amiga machines. Here is the list of what I have ... O2 with 300mhz r12000 processor, three Octane, one complete with Discreet Flint hardware and software, two Fuel respectively 600mhz, one Indigo with ELAN video card, one Tezro 4X1.0Ghz full memory with Snowball and DMPro module, unfortunately without cables and software to manage everything. And then a SGI 320 mono processor. As already written in another post, I am looking for a SGI Prism deskside. Congratulations Irinikus for videos on YouTube. I wish I could have a Tezro configuration like yours. Happy New Year to all

These are my babies:
Octane 2 (in a later green case): 600 MHz, V12, DCD, 4 GB
Octane 2 (in blue case): 600 MHz, V12, 1GB
Octane 2 (in blue case): 2x400 MHz, V10, 4.5GB
Octane 2 (in original Green case): 2x400 MHz, MXE + Digital Video Board, 3.5 GB

I'm rather surprised I haven't posted in this thread yet. Here are my current SGI systems.

Astraea - Tezro workstation, 4x R16000s at 1.0 Ghz, 8 GB of RAM, V12, 2x 300 GB SCSI drives.

Persephone - O2, R12000 at 300 MHz, 1 GB of RAM, CRM, 300 GB SCSI drive, analog video card.

Selene - Onyx2 Deskside, 4x R12000s at 400 MHz, 4 GB of RAM, IR3, external SCSI HDD that I'm still trying to get working.

Tyche - Indy, R5000SC at 180 MHz, 256 MB of RAM, XL-24, SCSI2HD v6.

Vulcan - Octane, 2x R12000s at 400 MHz, 1 GB of RAM, V12, 300 GB SCSI drive.

I also have an Origin200 that needs some work (and a metal side panel!) before it can be fully used, as well as a very dead second Onyx2 Deskside without its plastics. This means that I have a bunch of Onyx2/Origin parts as well as a TON of RAM. I'll have to get stuff posted in the sale threads eventually.

I know Astraea is supposed to be the Greek goddess of innocence, but blame anime for the fact I see her as Astraea from Sora no otoshimono:
