The interesting part is Rackable has ~300 employees. SGI still has ~1,100 post-layoffs.

I have 3 sleds, yes (2 3rd party, with hook, and one sgi). DG board I think I have one, but might not be in good shape... I thought I had a bunch of 300MHz R12K boards, but I can't find them at the moment, lemme check further...

Oddly enough, I was just Googling through some recent SiCortex sales. I would love to get my hands on such a system. PM sent.

I have an early vs100 in my closet with a dual socket xeon motherboard. (Albeit fsb system). Its a bit noisy and it only has a quadro fx card in it. Looks very similar to this. Not chassis extension off the right side of the chassis.

The octane3's are of similar size, but they have a single faceplate. I believe it was of a greenish color. The O3's were designed by Gio and his cronies immediately after Rackable bought SGI. It was a horrible system in every way.

Looking for a basic DG5-2 display board for my Onyx2 deskside. I'm running 110v power and have limited space for extra monitors, so I don't need anything fancy. This will complete the initial rebuild on my system :D

Anyone still have a spare?
