Thinking about getting an SGI
paigeoliver:
I have always wanted one of the obscure 'nix based computers, and now it seems like they have finally come down enough where I can afford one.

How is that one? Is it priced right? :police:

Basically an Octane.
250mhz R10K cpu, 1mb Cache
512mb Ram
9 gig drive
SSI Graphics
IRIX 6.5.21

If you want an old unix workstation you might also consider something from SUN, an ultra 10 or something. Solaris is the most popular form of unix (by sales) and still in very active devlopment - not sure about IRIX. The other advantage of the old sun workstations is they can run the most recent versions of solaris and modern solaris apps, even Solaris 10 when it comes out (january).
Disclaimer: I'm an SE for Sun so I may be a little biased

SGI systems use a proprietary video connector design. You'd need to find a 13W3 to HD15 video cable to hook it up to a normal PC monitor.
