I've not heard of a bundle, but "Mindshare" was the old name of what most people know as the Outbox personal webserver.

To accentuate the special identity of the IRIS 4D/70, Silicon Graphics' designers selected a new color palette. The machine's coating blends dark grey, raspberry and beige colors into a pleasing harmony. ( IRIS 4D/70 Superworkstation Technical Report )

Seeing as the thread is already resurrected.... if any of the original posters are reading, there is a short paper on the Indigo2 design, but mostly from a thermal/airflow perspective:

I think the next logical color is orange. A very refined and carful orange. The shape would have to be very compact and unique.

But we all know if you want to sell tech today its gold, rose gold, silver, and gray. A very dull time for tech.

Interesting thanks!

I wonder if the design from the marketing folks drove to ditch the unique Indigo design or the engineers decided it?
