My jaw dropped when I saw these, would be so cool to have one ;w;
The MIPS community is dying, upbear and comment if you're still a MIPS fan

That's soo cool
Were you running IRIX on it? Idk how well IRIX ran on those machines by the early 2000s but I guess not very fast
I guess they aren't all that useful today but I'm just kinda a MIPS stan for some reason (world's first successful RISC architecture, aged way better than SPARC lol)
I will probably never get to see an O2 in person....
Yep, ran Irix super slow. I didn't have anything else to run on it as this was right around when broadband came into my area., and while there were plenty of warez sites, downloading niche stuff wasn't as easy to find. One of the coolest things about it that surprised me was the whole thing was modular. (Remember this was 20 something years ago.) There was a little lever or something on the back and you could just slide out the motherboard module and other stuff for upgrades.
Sadly, I think it ended up in the trash when I went nomadic back in 2010. Might be in a closet somewhere at my parents, but I think I remember have a long emotional struggle over putting in the dumpster.
Yeahh, SGI machines are built really nicely
Should have got yourself a copy of NetBSD or OpenBSD on CD maybe
Rip your O2 :(
Yeah, I was still young and not experienced enough with the non-NT4 yet.
RIP.
