The closest I came to an SGI machine was an N64, so I would be interested in hearing the stories. What did consolidating the SGI boards get you? Didn't that cause thermal issues? Are Presidio and "the death star" you referenced above related to RenderMan? I've done research on hardware for image processing (https://aetherling.org/ https://aetherling.org/), so it's interesting to hear about these systems.
