	No one has bid on this 128-core (64-dual-processor) 64-bit supercomputer, which hasn't been listed for the first time, so if you're into that kind of thing, and I know a few people from here are in the area, you could probably bid a nice amount privately to the company and see if they'd give it to you. http://cgi.ebay.ca...rdZ1QQcmdZViewItem (4) SGI Origin 2000 Nodes, with 16 Dual-195MHz-Procs (4mb cache each) and 1 GB RAM per node. Processor (4) 16 x R10000 Dual 195MHz Memory 1 GB per rack Insert Module [8] Rack [4] Drive 2 x 18GB Others Craylink Cables, Front Panel Display, Directory Dimms, NO MMSC panels! OS IRIX 6.5 (installed) CDN $2,924.52 Yes, it would run Linux fine. Example (from 2001 when theese systems were the most powerful Linux systems): "A sample session of Linux 2.4.1 booting on a 128 processor, 24GB, 16 serial interfaces, 16 IOC3 ethernet interfaces, 35 SCSI controllers and 32 SCSI disks. There actually were more but since this was a production system the external disk rack was disconnected during these hacking sessions for paranoia reason..." http://www.linux-m...IP27_boot_messages

Yeah. I've got a deep lust for good SUN/SGI/DEC/CISCO/IBM (iSeries) equipment.

<- Big SUN/SGI fan.

	Ah, yes, definitely the vintage of the machine when I was at LU - their little CRAY (owned by SGI at the time). Highly under-utilized, I got in trouble fur running SETI on it (though not on the lab server or workstations). Another decade and it'll be just another VIC20 or Atari portfolio...

Naw. I still wet my pants over a VAX even though I have a handheld StrongARM that could kick it's ass.

	The new Sun Microsystems ad campaign is cool. So cool, many of the ads were rejected and banned. http://www.sun.com...ejected/index.html http://www.sun.com...cted/approved.html http://www.sun.com...ine_page_LEres.PDF http://www.sun.com...back_ALL_Lores.pdf Even flying a plane over Dell HQ: http://www.justano...86Flyoversmall.jpg
