This was one of my Origin2000 systems (2004/2005), the biggest one. It was from the BMW Computer Center. It had 16x R10000 195Mhz and 16x R10000 250Mhz with 21GB RAM and tons of diskspace. I had all this installed in one IRIX 6.5 Operating system and on the CPU photo it runs Seti@Home. My electric power monthly bill got sky rocket after I had this machine running at home and in winter I needed not much extra heating.
It was the twice heaviest machine I ever had at home and it was really great to get the chance to put my hands on this wonderful technique as a hobbyist.

This was my Challenge and Onxy collection at that time. The first Challenge was labeled as Siemens-Nixdorf and was R4400 based, later I also bought a PowerChallenge R10000.
Onyx Deskside RealityEngine2, an Onyx2 Deskside and the be(a)st was the Onyx 10000 Rack InfiniteReality aka "Terminator".
Please don't ask what this is on the right side of the Onyx2, it was the most crazy and heavy computer I ever bought, it is no SGI system :LOL:
I really miss these good old days ... but time goes on.
