Hi,
I'm interested in buying an Origin 350 to put V10 graphics into.
These type of machines must still be in use, because they don't turn up on, for example, eBay. I have only seen parts, not whole machines.
Because of shipping a seller in Europe is preferred, but maybe one "little" O350 is not so expensive to ship overseas.

Unless someone has found out a way to make a graphics mod to an Origin 300 (because I have O300) :-)

You can't graphics mod an O300 without hooking it up to a G-brick.

Possibly a V-Brick with a V12 in it (or presumably any Octane style V-Pro).

Or modified X-Brick maybe? I recall someone was trying that and it didn't provide power, but they piped in the power and it worked?

Finding an Origin 350 will probably be easier. Getting a G-Brick would be nice if you have the space/power.

Thank you guys

I actually have a G-brick in my Onyx2 which I bought a KTOWN2 for and tested with the O300. It was cool, but I didn't
want to swap back and forth so I bought a second Onyx2 :-)
However my O300 is in a short rack and I didn't like the looks of having a skinless G-brick on top of that. It would be much
nicer to have it all inside the short rack. The G-brick will become an Onyx2 again.

Even if a V-brick or X-brick could work, I guess they probably need 48V power supply/power bay and more modifications.

I'll keep my eyes open for an O350. That is probably easiest, even though it may take a while.

I have a few that already have the V10 mod if you are interested. Shipping to Sweden might be too much. I can also sell you just the graphics conversion parts needed. That way you could get the heavy part there. PM sent
If the thing isn't on fire it's a software problem.
