Yes, agreed: the G4 upgrade costs as much as 2-3 DV400 iMacs. I also put 1GB RAM and a 500MB hard disk in it ...
From a computer-performance-per-buck point of view, this is total nonsense. But I´m a collector of vintage machinery (sgi addict :) .

Well, I can sympathise with that - only my funds cannot... :D

Hello People,

Sorry for being inactive for the past couple of months, i've been extremely busy with following a course at the university to raise my skills in Finite Element Method for solving differential equations. Needless to say i'm back in the game to become a true scientist :)

And yes, shoot me, i've been playing WoW again :(

Anyway, i will be getting a pressie next friday which consists of a former Cave machine here at the TU, an Onyx2! :)
Which means finally i can try out Firefox/Seamonkey builds without having to rely on remote X connections.
I still have an old Origin2000 in my office so maybe i can frankenstein some parts for the new machine.

Thanks for the wait, and thanks to Neko for keeping the forum alive.

Haha, until you realize how much heat an IR pipe puts out doing nothing while the machine is busy compiling ;)

Good catch otherwise!
