It explodes into a pile of PC parts if you break it with a crobar.

When I saw those in BMS my eyes lit up, it's a shame they didn't have any other SGI stuff (besides the mug) though.

Saw an episode of NCIS maybe four or five days ago (don't recall which one).

There was an SGI MLA sitting on the desk of one of the two younger actors. Don't know their names as I'm not a regular viewer.

It was not connected to anything at all, no 1600SW in sight. Camera caught this for maybe 1/2 a second.

It was sitting on the desk like a paperweight.

Dual R14K@600MHz, 2GB RAM, V12, 1x72GB HDD

R10K@175MHz, 512MB RAM, 1x72GB HDD
:Cube:

68040@33MHz, 128MB RAM, NeXTdimension 32MB, 2x 4.3GB HDD

...And lots of other UNIX-like systems for which there is no icon.

SGI was a sponsor of the show for some period. However, you mostly just see the logo on monitors and panels; there isn't much actual use of them, even from McGee.

smit happens.

Another one I didn't see mentioned yet: There's a (somewhat forgettable) PC computer game, «SWAT 4» or a subsequent expansion for it (as far as I remember), where there's an ‘data center’ environment with ‘Origin3x0’-appearing systems in the racks. I can see if I can make a screenshot or two.
