I picked this system up on eBay for the princely sum of £10.50 a month or two back, but it was missing a power supply and fan. I really just bid on a whim expecting not to win so I was kind of surprised I did.
Anyway - been extremely busy and have been skimming eBay on and off for parts but nothing much shows up for SGI's over here very often. Thankfully got in touch with mashek on here and he hooked me up with the spare fan I needed and the power supply for a fair price so I took the plunge. All parts arrived on Wednesday, but then real life issues got in the way again for a few days. Just got home after a stressful few days, friend dropped me over a serial cable and I was able to fire it up for the first time. Seems I plugged everything in correctly (and the gods of Mountain View were smiling on me) as despite never having had an Origin 200, it all worked first time. Here's the hinv (as I had no idea what I'd be getting) - my first dual CPU SGI finally
Will check the capacities of the disks out and then if I get some spare time over the weekend, might throw a fresh install of IRIX on it. Not much to show in terms of pictures - sadly the front skins are all smashed up (as always seems to be the case with these), front door missing, etc etc.
