Please help find a home for this system:
This is one unique system giveaway...last of the dinosaurs wants a
good home; and we want the space it occupies.
The SGI PowerSeries III 4d/48VGX is a beast of an IRIX system (or was
in it's day). This system was a graphics workhorse that ruled the
world of high-end Structural Biology Molecular Modeling; chewing up
other systems in its wake. Today it is a fossil that could have high
appeal to a computer archeologist.
This system is about the size of a LARGE refrigerator, runs on 220V
power (and knows how to USE IT!!). The system is currently not in
operation; but for those that know how, or want a unique project, it
can be a serviceable working unit.
Expensive to purchase originally; reputedly around $250K, This is a
classic system that is destined as a museum piece...it would be a
real shame if this ends up in the being discarded.
Here's a couple of links on this unit and its family, for those with interest:

You must be able to remove the system via your own transportation.
The system is located on the Harvard Medical School campus in Boston,
Massachusetts.
Please: Serious Inquires only...remember you must truck this system
out on your own; and removal in a timely fashion would be appreciated.
