● Description
The SGI Octane was a 3D Workstation from 1997 with a price tag no mortal could afford. Today we take a look at a machine in a long line of SGI hardware which was responsible for some of our favourite films, owned the MIPS processor we saw in Playstation and Nintendo consoles and performed number crunching scientific work. Let's see what it's all about.
