Years ago my boss gave me his SGI Indy that he had used for his research. He knew that I collected old computers and thought I would like it, which I do. 
But I'm trying to keep my collection more focused and although I do like a lot of the 1990's systems (Amiga!), I have been limiting my self to just systems from the 70's and 80's. I have many holes in my collection and would like to keep filling them even though it's difficult at this time. Long gone, I think, are the days of $40 C64's and Vic 20's.
So if someone would like to start collecting in the Unix world with a early SGI Indy, I would love to trade this system for another one from the 80's. I already have a few of the usual systems (C64, Vic 20, TI99/4a, ect). So let me know which system you would like to trade and I will let you know if I already have it.
The system dates from 1993, the first year they came out. I haven't yet tried to turn it on, but I can if needed. Judging by the 4mm backup cartridge, the system was running up to 2001. The CPU has a later 1994 date, which I think means that it was replaced because the first CPUs under performed (R4400 maybe?). There is an internal disk but I'm not sure what size. Same with the memory, but the memory slots are fully populated. It also will come with an external SCSI hard drive, external SCSI CD drive, external SCSI 4mm DAT tape drive.
It still has the original keyboard, a Microsoft PS2 mouse, but not the original video camera (if it came with one?). It will also come with the IRIX 6.5 and IRIX 6.5.9 upgrade CDs and a GTCO cable (my boss said that he connected a GPS to the system through it). I also have a 13w3 to VGA cable (SUN) to make it easier to connect it to a monitor. All of the SCSI and power cables are included as well.
If you need more or better pics, let me know. I live in Spokane, WA, USA for shipping concerns. Thanks for looking,
Jason
