Hardware For Sale/Trade

Hi everyone...

I've got a shedfull of random Octanes and SCSI gear in various states on function.
I want shot of it as I've got most of what I want out of it.
I'm gonna keep 1 or 2 of the Octanes and some bits, but the rest need to go.
If anyone in the UK wants to come down and have most of it, feel free.

I won't charge for any of the Octane bits as they have been left outside in my works junk space for a couple of years. Most of it does powerup, but get flashing lights of various types. Most of the graphics cards are fuzzy, I'm keeping the good couple I have. Cases are complete on most, but obviously the worse for wear.
Pretty much all the power supplies are functional. All the CPU modules seem to work. There are 300 singles, a 195 and possibly even a 400 dual (if you can pursuade me to part with it).
There is some Octane memory also that I cannot even remotelly guarantee.
I only have one Octane drive sled that I am keeping.

For things that I might charge a little for, I have some external SCSI hard disks, no bigger than 4GB.
I have lots of SCSI cables that I need to sort through which you are welcome to.
I also have a box of Octane speakers and some granite keyboards and mice.

I've also got a couple of O2's. One of them I got working, but the second is very dead. The working one stopped booting, probably due to me trying to sort out the memory in it. I'd probably part with them for a few quid.

I've also got a working SGI monitor and leads to fit for the Octanes. Yet again, a couple of quid and you can take it away.

I'm really not up for posting anything really, but if you want to come and get any, bring minimal funds, an empty car and a cuppa will be waiting for you.

If you feel like swapping me something for some of this stuff I'm open to that too. I'm looking at setting myself up a media and backup server so anything with a large case with plenty of hard drive bays would be nice (and hard drives )
Offer anything though.

Let me know if theres something specific you want and I'll have a look.

Try me. It's time to clear out.

I'm in Bedford, UK


!m!

It's all going in the dump next week if no one wants it. Might ebay some of it.

!m!

I'm interested in everything you can send me to italy
Let me know

To be honest, I could send a couple of bits, but it's either pick up or I'm dumping.


!m!

Don't mean to hammer home the point, but I'm really not up for shipping stuff and I don't have time to test anything.

Sorting it out this weekend and dumping tomorrow.

Any takers?????


!m!

6 hour drive. . .

. . .you left out the FREE part.

Since you've been complaining that there isn't any SGI gear in your immediate neck of the woods while also lamenting the cost to buy and ship, this sounds like a made-for-indyman007 opportunity.

I'm going to do a bit of an inventory this afternoon.

Will post it up and see if it's worth anyone's drive.


!m!

It's worth the drive, can't persaude anyone though .

I've only been to England once but ten years ago there were trains to everywhere ...

Okay.....

Here comes the list of stuff.

4 Octanes - One empty of bits except the front plane.
2 with various faults.
1 Almost completey working, just a fuzzy graphics card.
No disks in any.
2 O2's - One does boot, but gets a crash during the boot process and shuts down again. Suspect a reload will sort out. Has a 4GB HDD in it.
The second is dead. It's power supply and probably mother board is dead.
3 Octane power supplies. - 2 working fine, 1 unkown.
1 Granite monitor, fully working.
3 Granite Keyboards.
3 External SCSI Hard disks
1 External SCSI CDROM case.
1 SCSI DVD ram drive. Caddy type. Not 100% sure if this works.
9 SCSI Cables. Large - Large Centronics.
5 (Possibly more) 13w3 Octane monitor leads.
1 300Mhz Octane Single CPU
1 Unknown Octane Single CPU
9 SCSI Terminators
4 sets of Octane Speakers (Untested, but the set I am using came from the same source and is fine.)
7 SGI Mice. 2 small ones, 5 larger.
2 Octane memory covers.
1 Original SGI Mouse mat.

And just to wet your appitite, here's a few pics.






Speak now or it goes to the town dump. Must get rid of it all this week.

!m!

- o2 (the working one)
- 300Mhz cpu and the other
- a pair of 13w3
- some scsi cable
- some scsi terminators
- 2 Octane memory covers.
- some ram modules for octane?
- some octane drive sleed?
- keyboard

Think about symbolic price

I'd come for the monitor, but no one wants to drive .

For postage to Italy, I presume you mean?

I really don't want to post things, besides the O2 posted is gonna be a bit pricey.

Look, I really only feel comfortable with people coming to look at the stuff before they have it as it's not in the best of condition, and some water damage to the machines themselves. The SCSI HDD's are fine though.

Seriously, pick up in one lot or it goes. I really don't fancy boxing up lots of different bits for different people.


!m!

Ok, I understand

External SCSI devices would be fine but england is really far from me...
There is fully working - possibly nice extended octane sitting on the ground for free or for monays spend on gfx - I think it is worth drive for anyone who begins with sgi's and is living in england.

Okay....

Last chance. I can probably ship some small parts if someone wants, but it's mostly going in the bin.

Would have thought that someone in the UK would want some free SGI bits.

!m!

I'm interested in any small parts you want to ship

Fair enough, and thank you for taking the time and making the effort to offer this stuff to the membership.

I too wish someone would collect it, but when the end comes, please spare us the necropsy. Just mark the thread as closed and let the stuff gently fade into memory.

If I could get there then I would, sorry.

Trust me, I am trying everything .
