I have a few old SGI Irix systems (Indy's) as well as SGI Solaris (V100's).
Systems are no charge (only pay shipping and handling ACT NOW!!) from the NYC or Philly area.
(Some systems are near Philadelphia.)
Also some SGI Monitors.
Now these systems would probably come without the hard drives (but they easy to get).
Now what I need to know is is there a way to get the data off the hard drives hooking up to a Mac. (I have no time to google and figure this out although I could so if anyone has some tips or links separate from wanting the system(s) let me know).
I am not ready to dispose of these immediately (I'd as I'd to retrieve from storage where they currently located). One of the V100's (might be a higher model actually I don't even remember) ran for over 10 years straight w/o a reboot (when colo de-racked).

To get these you need to be a 'goodfella' meaning a hacker who will put them to good use (student ok; business ok just let me know up front you think they are cool).
The Indy's were fwiw in this 1994 Michael Douglas movie:

(I don't mean the ones I have I mean it was cool they were in that movie as in many other movies as others have pointed out).
As I recall I have at least 2 of each model and maybe more.
