What fantastical place do you work at where they still have O2s?

You should try an Origin 200 in tower configuration ;-)
I'd offer to take the O2 and the Indy off your hands, but I'm in the
middle of a clear out myself, and getting more SGI kit when I'm supposed
to be shifting the racks of gear I already have wouldn't go down too well.
A Webforce Indy is worth it for the software alone, and an R10k O2 is no
slouch.
Cheers,
TOM
