Well, it's just a logical consequence I guess. If you buy the amount of (older) hardware as I do, some things work out, some don't...
I bought this O2-case quite a while ago (without the actual O2), but it got quite damaged in transport. I looked at it a few times now(that does hurt) but I think I'm gonna get the logo off and use polyester on the inside to remodel the case and then repaint it and put the logo back...
Ouch!
And then... some things work out better than expected! I bought this Indy unseen and to my surprise it's in good shape and even comes with the original IRIX CD's (the seller never mentioned that). I have to inspect it further, it's said to have a defective videocard, but I'm gonna install it just like my almost identical Challenge S, which doesn't have a videocard at all...
The Indy, even compared with modern machines, has an impressive array of connectors on the backside :-)
And this is the reason I bought it, I have 2 cameras and with the Indycam I got three and this little Indy is going to be the videoserver capturing still images of them :-)
