We had these and a few SUN systems in our computer lab storage room. We called them the dinosaurs. It's amazing how things changed from 1993 to mid 2000s. From technology rock stars to useless junk in a little more than a decade. The "lab master" bribed us with pizza to help him clear the storage room. Quickly found out how heavy these things were and what a raw deal we got.

I heard somewhere SGI put a big chunk of iron/lead inside the case to make them heavier and add to the expensive impression when handling the machines. Not sure if that was the case, or if it is just an urban legend?

  They used cast iron extensively.
