"Indigo2 High IMPACT 10000 and Indigo2 Maximum IMPACT 10000 systems are to be available during the second quarter of 1996, priced at $43,000 and $55,000."
Resold them when I worked at Prime/ComputerVision. We handled their field service and Unix/Irix tech support. Also handled MIPS RISC mini computers.
A lot of travel between Boston and San Jose back then.
Unironically I’m going beige box for my next build. I wanted to do the glass RGB overkill once. Did it. Never again. Dual leads for 18 fans was an oh god why moment at the end. My next high level build will look like this … minus the monitor 😂

Maybe--maybe--an Octane might give it a run for it's money in the "Goddamn, that's cool" department.
that’s gotta be like $70K of computer, adjusted for inflation

So ... $86K or $110K in today's money, with those graphics cards.
- memory
- disk
- option cards
- video?

Whether it’s Solid, High or Maximum IMPACT 😃
Curious to see how it would work as it needs 3 gio64 slots and the lndigo2 has 4.. but I don’t know how they line up..
IIRC a High Impact is a dual slot card.
You couldn’t even max out the memory without issues.
