SGI Indy
In September 2009 I started to downsize this collection to a few items and then archived this section to its own subdomain at the start of October 2011. Remaining items sold off in mid 2024.
This system
Over the past few years I have actually been in possession of a number of
Indy units.
First there were two R4600 system units and two 20" displays that I obtained
via a friend who spotted them being disposed of at his university. One of each
of these are pictured below and the other system unit and display we sold on
eBay to raise some money for our LAN gaming group. Some months later I
purchased the matching keyboard, mouse and IndyCam through eBay which brought
it up to a single complete system.
In late 2004 I obtained another complete R4600 system (20" display,
keyboard, mouse and IndyCam) from my work. Over a year later in early 2006 I
sold this system with an external SCSI CD-ROM (the case was purchased for $12
on eBay and I put an old Apple drive in it) to bring the items in my possession
back down to a single complete system.
It was barely a week after this that I spotted an offer of some SGI systems
on a mailing list at work and thanks to that I obtained an R5000 system
(pictured below) with 17" display, keyboard, mouse and IndyCam.
Due to space concerns I am currently (February 2006) considering selling the
20" display from the R4600 system (I have a similar sized display on the O2).
In December 2009 both the R4600 and R5000 were listed on eBay.
