Tilburg University in the Netherlands wants to get rid of an Origin 2000 sgi
2400.  It consists of 3 cabinets of about 2 meters high; width about 22 inch.
Out of the 4 panels present, 3 are still fully functional.  Is has 48 GB RAM
and 24 CPU's running at 200 MHz.  It's free for anybody willing to arrange
transportation.  Please reply to joostvb+sgi at uvt.nl if you're interested.  If
you plan to use the machine for Free Software work, you'll get a priority
handling :)

Here's a picture of what these things look like:

3 racks, each of them is _probably_ :

  Width         Height      Depth        Weight
  71 cm         185 cm      102 cm       317 kg
  (28 inches)   (73 inches) (40 inches)  (700 lb)

The racks have once been lifted by 6 strong man.
