[rescue] Re: 64 proc/16GB SGI Origin 2000 system (Brisbane, australia)

[Gavin Hubbard]

Hi Lads

I don't know if anyone remembers the following message from June last year.
But I did a followup today and called the IT services group at the
University of Queensland. Apparently the finance company tried listing it
on EBay and only got offered 10kAUD (4.5kUSD). So they put it in storage
for a couple of months and finally managed to rid of it last month. 

They sold it in the end to someone for 5,000kAUD. In other words 2,400USD
for a completely operational & licensed 64-way Origin 2000 system.

Damn!

Regards,

Gavin

Hi Lads

If anyone seriously wants to buy a very nice SGI Origin 2000 for around
6,000USD plus shipping from Australia, I may be able to help you out.

A major university in Brisbane, Australia has just decomissioned an SGI
Origin 2000 with 64 CPU's (195 megahertz - R10k?) and 16GB of system
memory. The system was professionally disassembled by SGI engineers. When
reassembled, it sits in 4 SGI system racks each containing two modules. The
system was fully operational before decommisioning and the IRIX license and
apps are transferable.

Come on. This machine is worth going into debt for :-)

Regards,

Gavin
