It's a monster 21" professional workstation CRT that is the best monitor I've ever owned by a mile - dual input (including 13w3 native for SGI/Sun machines), 1600x1200, full colour control, etc. I've spent literally thousands of hours in front of it since I originally bought it for £1000s years ago. I used to have a bank of 3 of them hooked up to 6 kvm units to control my entire lab of machines... happy days. Anyway, the tube is beginning to deteriorate so it's a little fuzzy close up but still works otherwise perfectly. It'd be worth spending whatever it costs to replace the tube and it'll probably work for another 20 years. The only reason I'm
getting rid of it is because I'm severely space limited now, unfortunately, otherwise I'd recondition it and keep using it forever. You're welcome to both the monitor and the Indy if you want to come and get them.

Moved back from London recently and am clearing out a garage full of hoarded gear: most of it has gone on Freecycle, but I really don't think they would have the faintest idea what to do with some of my more exotic gear so I thought I'd see if any of you are interested first. A great little machine for playing with proper UNIX or experimenting with non-mainline architectures for Linux - obviously you're not going to be doing any serious 3D graphics work on it these days but for a machine that's nearly 20 years old it's amazingly quiet, efficient and great fun to hack about. Being a classic SGI, it also has an achingly cool design - silver-flecked blue paintjob and the original 3D cube logo! It's with great reluctance that I have to get rid of it - it was my first SGI machine and I learnt IRIX on it many years ago - but I'm keeping my Indigo2 MaxImpact and Octane2 and the missus is seriously going to kill me if she can't get her car in the garage by christmas so this is *free to a good home*. I can provide some help and support if needed and Irix 5.3/6.5 install media if you want to try the original OS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SGI_Indy Kind regards, Mat -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq |
