If anybody is interested in having a pair of SGI Octanes, I have a buddy who
has one mdl # CMNB015ANF195 for sale, no monitor, but he does have keyboard,
mouse, IRIX CDs, driver CDs, and some app CDs. It will power on, but with no
monitor he hasn't been able to check it out further. He'll take $250 for it.
Let me know and I'll put you in touch with him.
