Any SGI or Sun stuff in there, or DEC Alpha? Grab that stuff right away if you can find it. Large servers aren't really worth it but the workstations are getting a lot harder to find. Just 5 years ago I got several SGI machines for free, one of which was a fully working high end Tezro with a screen and keyboard. People sell these for like $2k on ebay.

Remember when someone sent El Gay Arr a Sun workstation and he was like "Wow...neat. I can't play Quake on this thing..."

Out of curiousity, why is this thread copypasta’d so often? I’m in full support of the point it’s trying to make, but just why? What is there to gain? What’s the appeal?
I see this thread at least once a week, maybe more.
