SGI Octane2 V12 DCO Dual R12000 400Mhz

[SGI Codename: Speedracer]


The Octane2 is my main workstation at home.
I spent a bit of money to get this machine the necessary updates to be called
a great machine, and now i really enjoy it. I must admit the
Odyssey Vpro V12 card made the really big step to increase
the overall performance on this computer. I use this workstation
everyday with no needs of the closer super fast cheap cool PeeCee.

Dual R14k CPU will be the next and last upgrade for my octane2 once it'll become
effordable on Ebay.

The Origin Vault is connected to this octane2 but I honestly dont use it.

Dual Channel Option and MSCSI XIO arrived!!.. damn the DVI out is SO SHARP and clean.
the image quality is really visible over the 13w3 output.
Still gotta connect something to the differential SCSI card but..
I'm so happy about the Dual DVI :)

here's the output of the command "hinv -vm"
