Hello,

I always have loved SGI hardware being a teen in the 90's. Anyhow in about 2012 I bought the best spec'd Fuel I could get, and the seller at the time through a forum loaded Maya, and everything I could want. I of course am root, and have had it at times on my LAN for the nastalgia of running Netscape.

Anyhow, I have a correct keyboard and mouse, but just ordered a older Dell monitor so I can hook it up again to show it booting (Mine went missing since last boot), such I can run HINV to prove hardware specs, login, etc. etc.

I would like this to go to a good home, and am looking for a fair price, not to scalp on eBay, as I know it will be a great machine for someone with the above mentioned condition and specs. I can't find my original email exchange with the seller from back in the day, but paid about $1,800 or so 15 years ago for the privledge of the highest specs. That included the v12 card, the 900mhz spec, and upgrading to 4GB ram at the time. It has a working CD/DVD and Tape drive, as well as sound card configured and working.

Please PM me, and I should be in a position to demonstrate via video or FaceTime later in the week when my monitor arrives.
 
A few pics for now. PS, this has not been cleaned, but stored in my closet brought out to play every few years.

It is an R16000 but is an 800MHZ - I could not find my dell LCD, but will upload the HINVearly next week. Below is the CPU Serial, as well as V12 connector shot with DCD. Also, another community member pointed out, there are red flags I am newly registered, which is true. I only registered to post it for sale in the community, as I am not an active IRIX user, and previously was an SGI forum user before SGI canned that resource. Anyhow, I will upload the details when the monitor arrives.
