They were great machines, the Indy, the O2, Octane, etc. At the time there was really nothing comparable from a graphics performance perspective. However, even the latest mips SGI machine the tezro gets absolutely spanked by a modern machine in every possible way. They still have a premium price tag, probably due to rarity and legacy software in a few industries, but have poor performance vs alternatives. I'm putting my hope on raptor engineering or another firm delivering a Power based system, the days of the great unix workstation providers are in the past.
