For sale: SGI o2 w/ R12K 300Mhz CPU & 128mb RAM

[Steve]

Just gauging interest really, since this isn't really the place to sell SGI. I just dislike selling these things on eBay but I will if I have to. These machines tend to go for mega-bucks but I'm prepared to do a deal for people in the UK, especially if we don't need to post the item.

Just as a guide, in general the slowest 180mhz R5K spec usually is around the £500 ballpark. This model has one of the best CPU's, R12K 300mhz. 128mb RAM. No CDROM drive, but you can use bluescsi for CDROM images.

I have installed a very fast and quiet 36gb Fujitsu drive, fully installed and configured IRIX (with lots of software packages, including Quake 1 and 2 for games, even Supermario 64) The o2 is really nice because it does full textured OpenGL, very rare for a Unix machine of it's era. Even other SGI's required T-RAM modules for texture memory, the o2 has something like AGP where the graphics can use the system memory.

Looking to sell in the UK and preferably to someone where we can either meet half-way, or pick up. I'm in Coventry. The cases are ultra-fragile and posting will almost certainly mean damage.

Please make me an offer.
