This O2 started as a pretty standard R5000 180MHz. That doesn't tell the whole story though, as it still has a raft of its original details--Granite keyboard, mouse, camera, and speakers, mic, cardboard boxes, printed manuals, etc. Something of a treasure trove of memorabilia. It was also my first SGI, so holds a special place.
I recently swapped out the drive for a quieter IBM with a fresh install of 6.5.22m. I also upgraded the PSU fan to a quiet Noctua. (I saved the originals in both cases.)
Because it is nearly silent and has tiny power consumption, this has become my daily-use SGI.
