Hmm, I've just bagged a Silicone Graphics Indigo offa my local Freecycle group. Apparently works, but the BIOS battery holder is missing so it loses the BIOS info every time it is switched off.Should be able to solder a new one on...
What are you going to do with it?!
From my experience of them, they're pretty inefficient office heaters.
Lol. TBH I just want to have a go at fixing it. There are actually two base units, the other won't boot at all so I thought I'd have a go at getting one to work. I haven't actually worked out what to do with it yet...
Server or something?
Well, two gives you the ability to put a plank on top and make a desk...
Lol
Don't really need one for anything. I've got a HD enclosure attached to my router so e.g. my music and video files are shared between this desktop and the laptop I'm using as a media PC (attached to the telly and hifi) and it does the job nicely.
I wonder if my son's nursery might be interested in a Linux machine..?
I took 2 and a bit of them down the local tip not long ago, along with a Sparc 330.
The Sparc chucked out silly amounts of heat and sounded like an airliner taking off.
"Need"? Pfff!
How modern is this thing? Could you, for instance, record video on it? If so, what about a home security type thing?
You'd be lucky to run Tetris on that! ;-)
I've got my feet on it at the minute...
Toasty.
If it has a hardware 3d card it will play a few of the early openGL games.
