The SGI Indigo2 Extreme is the first of two SGI systems we're looking at this week, this one using the Extreme Graphics set from Silicon Graphics. The system is from roughly 1994 and originally sold for about $34k, largely targeting movie studios and enterprise clients in the medical and defense industries. SGI has long since gone bankrupt, but built some of the highest-end, earliest GPUs with surprisingly good 3D rendering capabilities. This was sent from Ian of SGI Depot.
