I've been curious as to what type of hardware we all own. As Sgi boxen go, I own 3 Iris Indigos, an Indy and an Indigo2(purple). I also own 9 Sun's, 3 NeXT's, 1 BeBox, 4 Tandy's, 1 Commodore 128D, a older x86 Xenix server and around 35-40 Mac and Mac Clones (haven't counted recently). I can't seem to let a computer get dumpstered.

What kind of hardware do we all own? - Page 1
Down to 2 systems. G4 running Linux (serving files via NFS/Samba), and sgi Octane running Irix 6.5.17. My girl has an scsi-based AMD 2100 with winxp on it.
I have a few systems, as follows:
Origin 200 4xR10k 180, 384MB ram, 6.5.19m
Octane R12k 360, MXI, 1gig ram, 6.5.19f
O2 R5k 200, 256MB ram, 6.5.19f
Indy R4k 200, XL24, 256MB ram, 6.5.17m
Indigo R4k 100, Elan, 384MB ram, no-OS (will have 5.3 at some point)
Athlon XP 2200+, 1gig ram, Winxp-pro
IBM T20 thinkpad, 750mhz, 512MB ram, Winxp-pro
IBM X20 thinkpad, 650mhz, 256MB ram, win2k adv svr.
I have a Sinclair ZX81 floating about somewhere too, which is broken unfortunatly.

Same here. If I don't have a need/use for somthing, I just get rid of it.
I used to have a whole collection, but when I moved to the UK like 6 years ago, I had to sell most of it or throw away (I knoooooow... it hurt so much). Now I´m down to:
A couple of random x86 boxen.
A Octane SI/2*195/512/6.5.17m.
A Amiga4000T/highly specced.
A Psion revo+.

I have lots o-stuff in the basement, but the main machines I happen to have out are:
NeXTStation - unfortunatly not getting as much use now that I have a decent Indy
r5k 180 Indy - My main machine
r4400 200 Indy - there to run IRIX 5.3
Ultra 1 200E - Runs headless even though it has a Creator3d...
r5k 150SC ChallengeS - just because
300MHz P2 - Generic Linux machine
350MHz P2 - Generic Windoze box (for all that x86 windows only stuff)

Yikes!
I have had so much hardware that it's hard to keep track. I also get rid of stuff that I am no longer using as well. I figure it's better off going to a good home than siting around doing nothing.
Currently I have...
Indigo2 R10k 195
Indigo2 R4400 250
Indy (proc is in limbo...)
Personal Iris R3k (IP12)
Ultra10 300
Ultra10 270 (Was an Ultra5 a few days ago, but orion wanted to save some space)
SS20 (some where at a friends)
Dual Xeon 550 (Another friend is borrowing this one)
Dual PIII 550
Centris 650
... and enough spare PC parts to put together another Dual Xeon rig and possibly another few machines.
Can't forget my Dual G4 867 in the nice Quick Silver case and my Wife's Athlon 1900+, but I don't normally incluse that because it's hers and I only get to go near it when it isn't working.

<-------- A very happy forum member.
Wow! Cool to see all the rare hardware we own. Some names I hadn't heard in quite awhile. Here's my list-
SGI-
-Indigo 2- 195Mhz R10k, 384MB, 9.1GB, High Impact (hope to get TRAM or Max Impact soon) Will be running IRIX 6.5.22 when I get my disks
-Indigo 2- 200mhz R4400, 96MB, 2.1GB, Solid Impact, will get IRIX 6.5.22 when my disks come. This one's pending sale.
-Indy- 100mhz R4400PC, 32MB, 1.2GB, 8-bit XL, IRIX 5.3, I'm fighting with my CD-ROM drives to get 6.2 on it. Not even going to try 6.5
Going to get at least one more Impact 10000 system later this week.
Apple-
-UMAX c600- 240Mhz 603ev, 48MB, 6.4GB?, Rage IIc All in Wonder
-PowerMac 6360- 160mhz 603ev, 32MB, 1.2B
-Powerbook 3400c- 240mhz 603ev, 144MB (it was expeeeensive to get the 128MB memory module to max that! Helped performance a lot.) 4GB, the usual 12x CD-ROM
PC stuff-
-"Tsunami" custom system- Engineering Sample Pentium M at 2.6Ghz, defaults to 2.8 but I downlclocked for stability. (Capable of breaking 3Ghz on a good motherboard, but I don't see the need for spending extra money and time on that), 2GB DDRII, 120GB SATA drive, Radeon x1800XT. Usual DVD-/+RW stuff. Nothin special except the proc. I occasionally play games on it, so it runs Windows XP. Not a terrible OS really. Probably going to get Mac OS X on it sometime soon.
-Wee server thing of doom, unnamed so far- 500mhz K6/2, 256MB, 2x 40GB IDE drives (thinkin of putting my SCSI Cheetas in there instead), Free BSD 6.something or other. Working on fitting it into the case from a busted Onyx power supply.
-Dell Dimension 4600- 2.8Ghz Prescott (eww! At least Hyperthreading was a good idea.) 1GB DDR, Geforce somethin or other, 40GB IDE drive, CD-RW. Got it from a friend, used it a couple times, was duly unimpressed. Trying unsuccesfully to sell it on Ebay and elsewhere, the local pawn shops will see me soon.
