I recently took a chance on an "As-Is" Origin 300 from eBay. I won the auction for just $36, and the shipping was a lot less than what I've seen from other sellers. (It was halfway across Canada but still north of the border, so no customs hassles...which might explain why shipping was less than half the cost of other Origins I've looked at from US sellers.)

Turns out that in this case "As-Is" meant fully functional!

I was a little disappointed that it was only 2 CPUs and only 1GB RAM. I had been hoping it would have disk sleds in it, and so I was very pleasantly surprised to find that it had a 73GB system disk (with no root password on what appears to be a fresh install of 6.5.29) and a 300GB Seagate disk in the second slot, along with a QL12160 SCSI card in one of the PCI slots. That made up for having only 2 CPUs. So all in all, it was better than expected! :!:

Even more so considering it was still well under $100 even after adding shipping and taxes.

I won't bother with pictures. It's nothing special visually. But I'm still very excited. I'll probably spend next weekend putting it through it's paces to compare it to my 2x250MHz Octane.

And I just love the L1 functionality. I wish all systems had that! I do notice that it's quite an old L1 firmware version and that will have to be updated. (In fact, something in the boot process is complaining about the firmware being too old to support some feature.) I've read up on that in the wiki and the cautionary tales in the forum about trying to jump too many versions at a time. I think I've got a bit more reading to do before I actually understand it well enough to attempt the multi-stage incremental updates to the firmware and the flash utility. But you guys have done the hard parts: figuring out the process and documenting it. Thanks for that! Otherwise I'd be in big trouble. :lol:

Congratulations! Sounds like it was a good addition for you even without the extra CPUs.

I've got a box of quieter fans to try and swap into my O300s (Adrenaline's Cooler Master units). You might want to check the threads referenced from a recently-added section of the O300 nekowiki page . But with the Octane you're all set for remote access, so you could just put it out in the garage or down in the basement.

Then?

... Now?
