This may be abusing the facilities a bit - but it's computer, Derby and
*nix related ...
For Sale: a Silicon Graphics High Impact 10000 Workstation, complete
with high-quality 19" monitor (the kind with the built-in remote
control), nice mouse, keyboard, and cables. The computer is a lovely
burgundy/purple affair, and the monitor, keyboard and mouse are the
marble-effect type. Memory upgraded to it's fullest (I forget how much),
and 100 MB network card. Comes with cables, spare drive sled, an
external SCSI CD-ROM drive, and 'backups' (ahem) of the IRIX 6.5
Operating System.
When these first came out they cost SILLY money (in the tens of
thousands), and were the best machines for 3D, simulation, and high-end
processing work. This particular machine came from a games-development
house.
Kept in very good condition, apart from a scratch on the top of the
monitor, which occurred whilst trying to get it in my loft. Heaven alone
knows how I'll get it down without dropping it.
Anyway, this is one of those things that if you don't know all about it
then you won't be interested. But I thought I'd ask here on the
off-chance that someone has always wanted one. It is INCREDIBLY heavy,
and I'd rather attempt to sell it to someone in Derby or hereabouts
before I stick it on E-bay.
Cheers,
Toff.
