After several years of stalking eBay, I finally got a Fuel!
This is a 600Mhz model with 1GB RAM, an intact working door, SCSI tape drive, and SCSI CDROM. The CDROM can't open its drive door.

This is relevant, as the Fuel has 1 less running PSU than my Origin 350, which is part of a 2-node Onyx4 cluster.
Other notes about the Fuel:
- The L1 port is on the motherboard
- At least for me, the L1 port doesn't also display console output, until I did .. something.. and it started working
- Then it stopped working, so
- The console port is external, serial port 1
- If you try to install IRIX via console, you must `setenv console d`, or you will get weird errors and the install will fail.
- If you run the above command, then install IRIX, it'll install without any graphical stuff, like 4dwm or X.
