This machine is a bit different to all the PCs.
It is an SGI Indy.
MIPS R4600 133MHz 64bit CPU
64MB Ram
2x1GB SCSI HDDs

That's some nice hardware there. The old proprietary workstations are fascinating, especially SGI. IMO.
Very nifty. i love the look of those 1990s SGI systems. Even now, they just give off this high-end feel. I wonder if you could still find some practical uses for such a machine. I doubt you'd be using this for many games.
Can it run Crysis?
Can you install NT4 on that I'm sure NT4 supports MIPS.

Indies are sweet, I have two myself.

No. There were some prototype Indigos running NT 3.1, but no one has seen one of these for years.

Nice! Used to work for a place that had a bunch of Indigos (already mothballed when I got there), even a purple one that I wasn't sure of what it was...however, they had a couple of SGI 320's that I played with for quite a while. I actually upgraded those 320's to 1GHz to try to get them to run the new version of Pro/E but they were still SLOW. HP eventually got the workstation nod.
Will pay $$$ for:
caching ISA I/O-IDE controller
PM me for my list of trade-ables...
