I dunno about for you, but I am using an I2 SI 4400/250 as my primary
workstation, the box is not blazing fast, the graphics are mildly fast.

investment considering the price of the machine, but you could always
just hang externals off it.  It seems to be a good solid box, and Solid
Impact is plenty of graphics power if you aren't Josh.  Ignoring
shipping I would have no qualms about spending $100 for that machine
with a drive and memory.  Fortunately mine was free :-) Of course it
would definitely be a bonus if all the plastic were there and intact,
SGI machines seem to suffer from fragile doors.
