Hello all,

I am in talks to ship my Octane R10k to the Netherlands for a developer
friend working on the OpenBSD port to SGI/mips. Currently only O2
hardware is supported... I was hoping to help change that and get more
SGI devices supported on Open Source systems (as SGI has, sadly,
abandoned the mips arch.)

Well... Octane is ~171 USD to airmail to the Netherlands and I was
hoping you all would have a lead on a local source for buy/trade a
high-end Indy or Indigo2 (hopefully R10k/12k) class machines. The
hardware is similar enough to be useful to the project and it would save
me a bundle on shipping (Those Octanes are fantastic machines and
fantastically heavy as well). I wouldn't need software, monitor, or
accessories just the cpu.

In any case, sorry to bother. If you have any leads/insights on this
please drop me a line.

Cheers,
Shawn
