all the SGIs i got on enterprise/university auctions were used for networking tasks... i did got a couple full color cards and couple 3d cards (indy had 8 bit cards, 24 bit cards, and 8bit Z cards -- which were good for 3d. there was no 24bit 3d)

Didn't they sell a stripped down Indy with no graphics capability under the Webforce line?

There was a stripped down, headless, Indigo2-based server. I'm not sure how much you could really strip down an Indy, though. It was already kind of their entry-level thing.

i think that still had the 8bit card. but i may be wrong. also, i never had U$20k to pay for it when it launched, so i never saw their marketing :)
