This is my first SGI box and to put my hands on it I had to travel nearly 700kms by train from St.Petersburg to Moscow. The specs are not top, but SGI machines are rarely found in Russia -not many companies of post-soviet Russia could afford them. Also the price was very good: 3000RUR( about 80USD) so I decided to take a chance on it. The Octane appeared to be in a nearly mint condition equipped with original "granite" speakers and external CDROM which supports sound via SCSI so no additional cables are required to listen to CD audio.
Later the system was upgraded with Octane Personal Video option and O2 camera. Few scratches on the skin were removed with a car polish for plastic. Burnt out lightbulbs were replaced with a LED:
