I just dropped the prices as low as I'm willing to go before putting these up on eBay. I would really like to see them go to good homes, but I need to move them so I can start remodeling my old office by the end of January.

I'm not happy about it, but it is the right thing to do. We are apartment dwellers in the SF bay area. There are no basements, and our friends have even less space than we do. The cheapest storage locker is ~$700 / year. Plus, and this is important, my wife does not like seeing my old computers, but...

A year ago I finally got to start my SGI collection. I wanted many of these systems for a long time, and my wife finally gave me the go ahead. Then, a couple months ago I got some great news, with a side order of losing my workshop/office in a few months and any spare time for the next few years. Af...

Order cheap rubber mounts from Amazon, screw on the rails, then a couple drops of superglue for the front (mount to the rails, not the drive). http://forums...

Congrats! I hope it has a quad 1GHz, making the gamble well worth it

I'd just like to know why in God's name anybody puts the Caps Lock key on these little tiny micro-keyboards. NOBODY USES CAPS LOCK. ALL IT DOES IS GET IN THE WAY. And that goes double when it's on an already-cramped keyboard, the same size as and immediately adjacent to one of the most common lette...

It went for more than I was willing to bid without more info. Hopefully somebody here got it so we will find out the specs. It looked like a fairly clean machine.

Deleting a google account definitely qualifies as "pointless." They are still going to track everything you do and associate it with whatever was on the previous account.

I think we understand, we just disagree. Also, given the lack of sales, we were probably right on this one.
