@flexion We had an entire retro SGI park at a former employer. Some were used on the road back in the day, with warning stickers on how to re-seat the mounted modules after transport. One used to be a community shell host. Some had up to 9 or 12 graphics outputs. That must have been fun times.  @flexion In 1997 or so, somebody got my department a Challenge system *on indefinite loan*. I want to say it was one of the then-new R10000 systems, but wouldnβt swear to it. Unfortunately nobody knew what to *do* with it, so it sat almost entirely idle the whole time we had it. I felt bad for it so for a year or so my login routine opened a window and ran βdcβ on it, just in case I needed a calculator quickly. Huh. I just realized thatβs probably where I fell in love with RPN calculators.  @shelldozer thanks, I know Ian has one and have been in contact with him. Thing is, I don't know if that Onyx still works, so it would be an expensive experiment, buying and shipping a PSU from the UK. I'm still hoping to find someone nearby who will borrow me a power supply for a test run first. Or find a second Onyx / Challenge. |
@flexion *looks at the three X99 boards they plan to build a k3s cluster with* What? There's a power bill? And you are telling my that NOW?πππ
