There is some good gear in those racks. Holy cow, did you get a steal.

What are you going to do with 19 racks? Open a business?

They came with the SGIs. eventually the racks will hold alot of my retro
gear, but my best friend is Amish and we've been thinking about how to
repurpose surplus server racks. Because they have plenty of uses. He
turned an old 48U into a mobile vertical kitchen for his butcher shop.
Another one was turned into a solar battery bank. Im going to build my
kitchen out of surplus racks. Cause they were cheap. It looks like some
infiniband in some of those racks.

You've got the <mumble> card that gives you keyboard/mouse/console, and the card with the 13W3 video out - doesn't this make it an Onyx and not an Origin?

I had a deskside Origin 2000, and with that console card and an Octane video card, I was able to run a graphical interface on an attached monitor, but it seems to me you've got the real deal.

I'm prepared to be wrong, though :-)

Be sure to share the links on the nekochan.net forum and you'll likely
get everything that's SGI properly identified :)

It looks like you're also missing the IO board and one of the raster boards
on one of the two graphics pipelines.
