This is my old work workstation, Mihoshi from country.com in 1996. I brought it home when it was retired and used it for a while, but it has been off for a few years. It has and external caddy-load CD-rom drive, 2 Seagate ST39173N 9GB hard drives, and a Phobos G100 100Mbit ethernet card. I removed one of the 9GB drives due to noise and heat. I decided to fire it up to see if it still works. It does. The drive sounds a bit like a popcorn popper, but it always has. I'd like to get a quieter, bigger drive and max the ram at some point.
It is running IRIX 6.2, which is what it retired with. Still has Netscape Communicator and a lot of the Netscape dev tools installed. It can pull up nekochan.net (styling is a little off) but I can't log in from it. Would like to compile Synergy 1.5 for it for keyboard and mouse sharing with my desktop Windows and Linux boxes.
Edit: Upgraded the RAM to 256MB from 128, and installed a 73GB 2.5" Seagate Savvio drive with the contents of the 2 9GB drives.
Also from the same job I have a teal Indigo 2 and a Challenge S that I'll post separately when/if I get them going, and a Challenge L that I didn't have space or power for, so I eventually donated to the Jurassic Park:Origins guys. And bunches of SGI CD's from the late 90's to early 2000's.

If it's a cheapie it may have always done it and be nothing to worry about
