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.
