This is my former SGI Indy workstation, right about when I first got it. I later on got it a proper spot on my desk, but I believe that this is just about the best photo that I really have of it. It came with a 150 MHz R4400sc processor, and I eventually added a 175MHz R4400sc processor, and then in one swoop, I added a CDROM drive, a 24-bit graphics board *and* the COSMOCOMPRESS and IndyVideo capture set, and a 200MHz R4400sc, makign this, with it's 256 megs of memory, one of the best, fastest and meanest Indies in the land. Really, all it needs is a larger hard drive and I would have been T-Totally set with it.

making my own cable :-)
not long ago i got a SGI VPro V8 graphics for my Octane. The card has been in the mail (DHL) for two months(!) and when I finally got it, it didn't seem to work with my (just got) Apple Studio Display 21. The seller of the card provided a 13W3->VGA adapter, but I'm not sure how that could've ever worked because it has the Hsync and Vsync pins wrong... (never mind how much time it took me to find that out...)
Anyway, as a proof of concept, I decided to make my own cable and tada! Now I've got an Octane with V8 graphics (128MB!) at 1600x1200@75Hz. Due to the quality of my own cable, it's still not perfect, but now I know this will work together, I found a proper adapter on eBay which I just bought.
(most of these adapters are for Suns, not SGIs)
