I would like to buy an indigo 2. The spec isn't to much of a concern as long as it is purple. If any one has one drop me a pm or reply to the thread. Preferably not an IP22 system.

I am located in the south west of England at the moment.

Many thanks,

I would recommend talking to Ian Mapleson at http://www.sgidepot.co.uk/sgidepot/indigo2.html

His purple Indigo2s start at £140, and that's with a full installation of IRIX and various other extras. Bought the one in my sig from him and have been very happy with it indeed. He's based in Edinburgh and shipping around the UK isn't too expensive.

Thank- you, however I am already aware of Ian and that his products are held in high regard. I will wait and see for a while if anyone has one lying around that is no longer required.

Fair enough, see what people have. If that fails, my experience has shown that Ian's systems are a damn sight cheaper than anything I've found on eBay however.

I have Indigo2 impact with stands. I didn't use it in 5-6 years, so I'll need to check if it's still in working order.

I have an Indigo2 I don't need anymore. R10K, 175MHz, Solid Impact, unknown memory. Hinges of front 'door' broken, otherwise OK condition. No power supply .

Location The Netherlands. Beware: these things are quite heavy.

Now this is a deep dark secret, so everybody keep it quiet

I have plenty; just bought 10.

Indyman007, are you looking for a unit with skins that have very few scratches? That could
be more difficult, though I've been able to work wonders with T-cut.
