Sgi boxes were the shit, but they came with a crazy price tag. A friend bought their smallest one (indy I think) which was still quite fun even though it soon felt quite crippled compared to a basic pc with Linux.
Unrelated story, I managed to save an early model (iris 3020 iirc) from the trash and found a home for it in a technology museum. So that was nice.

Doing the work of the lord.
I wanted an Onyx for so long, until IIT no longer made any sense.
SGI was one of the good companies.
