Bummer...why are these desksides always outside the US
The collected works of jeffwa
It's a pretty awesome box, but not for SGI...nor does the Origin label even remotely fit. Stupid thing is just a re-badged "Intel Modular Server".

Man, there where so many buildings....buildings 40,41,42 and 43 were the buildings that are now the main Googleplex. Across the street were 30,31 and 32 which I believe is where Google Geo is now located. There was also a building 44 down the road which was their datacenter.
I'm not 100% sure, but I THINK B40 was the "main" building for visitors. B40 is where the company store was located, along with a customer briefing center. I think there was a bunch of presentation/demo space in 40 as well.

Yep, 450/4700's use the same sleds as the Origin/Altix 350's. Very handy to only have to keep one sled around
The old 1450's also used the same sled as the 300's. I was able to grab most of my spares from scrapped 1450's.

It isn't technically a piece of hardware, but while watching Scream 3 the other night I couldn't help but notice the O2 boxes in the background.

Sweet, they appear to be 3700Bx2's (8 processors per brick). They've got the water chilled doors as well, this was the best of the best before the 450/4700 came out.
I've been trying to add an Indigo2 to my collection for quite awhile and was lucky enough to snag TWO
Both are in really good condition, the original quantum drives are even functional. I swapped the drives out using the method described in
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16728931
(huge thanks to darkninja for the detailed instructions). I won't do two hinv's because they're identical systems.

This is another system I've been trying to get my hands on...not sure why, I can't stand Origin 350's. I guess the only logical reason is because I have rack space to spare, but not floor space for a deskside system. This one has an interesting story....it appears to be an engineering model (labeled as such) and originally had a lot of odd behaviors but is now working quite nicely. List of issues included env monitoring turned off, probably because of fan and power issues that would cause the brick to power itself down. Power issues were due to a bad HD (dang, no poking around the old root disk) and fan issues were simply fan's not plugged in. The one REALLY odd thing is that when I originally booted it up the PROM splash said "SGI Visual Workstation", but the l1 confirmed that it was a chimera blade. I'm kicking myself for not taking a picture because after re-flashing the PROM it now shows the expected "SGI Onyx Infinite Pefformance". *shurg* Anyone else see a Chimera blade display "Visual Workstation" before?
Also added another O350 brick to it just for kicks...
