Any SGI owners out there? Info wanted..

[marcfrick2112]

Hi everyone,
Well I've heard/read a bit about SGI machines... I made the mistake of looking around EPay last night, saw an O2 w/ Lightwave5, and other software pre-installed (although only 128MB RAM) . I thought I could network it to my A1200T for Lightwave renders... But I have no specific info on SGI's ... I know at least one person here on A.org has an SGI (computer? Workstation?)
So, can you help... Where could I find hardware/upgrade info about specific SGI models, such as Indy, Indigo, O2, etc. Max. RAM, drives, monitors, printers, etc...

Tried Googling.. I now know the full history of the company.. but...

What models are recommended? What can, and what can't be done with them?  Mind you, I won't be getting an Altix...

Thanks much!

Wow, thanks much everyone... I knew this was the right place to ask

gazgod: thanks for the info, I forgot about the licences, etc. And I may take you up on your offer to help with memory, depending on what I get ....

Next to my 1200T is an x86 PC running Xandros (Debian-ish) It was free, there's nothing really bad about it, but it doesn't do anything fun... If I could have a PC that did all the common 'boring' tasks, as well as run LW and such, it would be great...

Well, off to check out the sites you guys suggested. Again, Thanks!
