I didn't even realize that these were a thing, until user Unxmall forwarded me a link to a local auction. I got the system cheap and had to drive a couple of hours to pick it up. It booted right up to IRIX (they didn't wipe the drives). It's a totally base system with only 4 CPUs (two nodeboards) and 256M ram. It is the next generation replacement for the Challenge L. I'm looking to get some more RAM for it and maybe a few more nodeboards if I can find them cheap. They are IP31 boards.

I'm liking this system so far, and now i owe Unxmaal a system at some point....
The other stuff in the car are some PC gear I had to take as part of the aution lot. A DLT tape jukebox, Dell SCSI Shelf, and a general Dell mini-desktop. Another bonus is my neighbor, who has moved to another state but kept his house has agreed to let me keep it there. I have not tried to get it into my basement yet.
