Hardware For Sale/Trade

I've got a spare Octane collecting dust in my setup, and it looks like its time to replace it. Help a fellow SGI addict purge his collection, and get yourself a very clean, basic Octane in the process. The machine is R10k 250/1 meg cache, 512/9gig, SE gfx. Old logo skins are very clean, the machine is in much better condition than the dime-a-dozen Octanes on ebay these days. Make me an offer, I'd love to move this machine quick...I sense an Octane2 or Onyx IR in my near future

/me drools. Can only afford $300

is that an offer ? Better be careful Donny doesn't trample you in the rush to accept !

This Octane is still up for grabs. To sweeten the deal a bit, the Octane is now an R12k 270 w/SSI gfx. Any offers? Don't let shipping scare you, I work for FedEx and can get you about 50% off of express shipping.

Ok....no interest on buying the Octane, so I'll try a new angle. I have a few systems that I'm never going to use again, and I'd like to move them so I can aquire a new toy. Currently I have 2 Octanes, 1 R10k 250, 512/9gig/SE gfx, and 1 R12k270 512/9gig/SSI gfx, and a Mac G4 that I want to send to someone who has use for them. I don't really need cash for these systems, but an interesting trade would be awesome. If anybody wants any of this stuff, let me know what you'd be willing to trade.

Man... Boy would I love an Octane, or a G4 tower...

What're the specs on the G4 tower and which nickname was it? (Digital Audio, Gigabit, QuickSilver, etc)

All I can really offer up is the old projector, but if you want that, I might trade it. (*Though, I highly doubt that a projector which does 16 shades of gray at 640 by 480 is worth an octane or G4 to you... May as well put it out there anyway.)

...Oh my GOD!... Nekochan, land of temptations for "Mr. Bill"!
How much costs the shipping to Argentine, by "your" FedEx way?

Well, I bet if you sweeten the deal by adding a pair of old socks to your trade proposition, you'll get the whole thing!

Diego- Just PM me with the address they will be shipped to (city and postal code) and I can get you a quote pretty quickly.

Old socks...now theres something I never even thought to ask for! My goal here in asking for trades is to try and get 1 or 2 new and different systems to replace the 3 (and maybe even 4) that I just plain don't use anymore. That being said...I'm really open to offers for interesting equipment. Just let me know what you want and what you want to give up for it.

I could trade you a nice xinjiang wife plus ten pounds of grapes for the r12k-270 machine, but shipping would be your responsibility ....

well, I *do* have old socks if you'd like them plus at least one old 68k mac like a 475 (it is a 475, rather.) maybe an old PC? (*athlon 700 or P2/400) (probably not those though) and I do have the Indy....

I'll also have a 7300/200 carcass, no processor (maybe?) or memory, cdrom drive broken and the hard disc removed, if you'dl ike a system like that

... As I try to think of things that are worth trading....

Now we are talking! What kind of shipping do you usually use for xinjiang wives??

Cory- which systems were you interested in? Just the Mac, or an Octane as well?

Trade ya an Alpha for the pile.

The Octane mostly, as I've got macs already, but the Mac too.

traditionally they go by container but in your position, you might want to consider air freight to save on the wear-and-tear ... should arrive a lot fresher

i have a sparc laptop (tadpole 3gx) and an hp parisc 9000, 715/100 that i'd be willing to trade. let me know if you're interested. I'd be interested in a G4

Are either of your two octanes still up for sale or
trade? Do you have any TRAM for the gfx cards or
other goodies to tack on?

I would give an HP B2000 (You can get it with HP-UX or
debian, whatever you would want I'll install it). It
has both fxe and ATI RAGE XL graphics.

If you think the system you have is worth more than
the b2000, I can make up the difference within reason.
(I'd like to keep the cost lower than the latest from
xs international for a similar system):
