WTB outbids supply by a ratio of 10:1. Patched IRIX makes a good apache server. Add bonus of security via obscurity. If you can even buy the hardware ;)
Almost makes me want to boot up my old IRIX box. I have an SGI O2 collecting dust.
Do it!
These days you can get an enormous 300gb 15krpm LVD drive off eBay for less than $100.
Then use https://github.com/unxmaal/booterizer to install IRIX 6.5.30 in a half hour.
Haha. Booterizer does look neat. I got my O2 off of Ebay about 4 years back. I was trying to relive the 90's...
