Robert,


Further to our recent phone conversation, I am forwarding the details of the
SGI box and some other relevant details.

As mentioned, UFJ has a SGI Origin 2000 computer (SGI Cray Supercomputer)
that it leased to a customer and the lease has terminated and the machine is
to be returned.

UFJ Finance is a specialist equipment financier and finances a range of
hi-tech computer equipment as well as transportation equipment,
agricultural, material handling, medical, software, etc.

The machine details are as follows:


*	Original cost (machine is 4 years old) exceeded $3 million dollars
(closer to $4mill)

*	SGI Origin 2000 with 64 CPUs

*	16GB of Memory

*	4 Tall Rack with 2 modules in each rack

*	Module 1 - 8 CPUs, 1 empty PCI Cardcage

*	Module 2 - 8 CPUs, 1 empty PCI Cardcage

*	Module 3 - 8 CPUs

*	Module 4 - 8 CPUs, 1 empty PCI Cardcage, 1 x CDROM, 1 x 9Gb Disk

*	The equipment is disassembled and is in good condition.  It was
decommissioned by SGI technical staff and has been certified as being fully
operational before shutdown and disassembly.

*	The software licenses covering the Irix operating system (SGI's
flavour of Unix) and related utilities are fully transferable

*	The equipment is located in Qld and inspection can be arranged

Please contact me if you are interested at the number below.
