btw. do all boards have afterproduction installed wires on the boards?

I forget the term used for that, but it seems to be common among various SGI boards that I have seen

Yep.  All 3 of my Octane board have bodge wires on them.

I have noticed that 2 from the same serial number have different colour wires, but they go the same way.

i hope she will serve me well, (like mentioned before, i'm still waiting for a 13w3 adapter to test if she works at all)  
in germany we have a expression called : "geht ab wie ne luzi" which u can use to describe a fast car or fast machine or what so ever
so that's where the name comes from

Using an Octane myself I can recommend the 13w3 adapter from Michael Pastras. Try contacting him and ask for his hand made 13w3 adapters. They cost around 40EUR but are definitely worth it.

Good luck and welcome

I'm using one of his cables on my octanes too and they are fantastic.  That's a second thumbs up from me!
