Quoth Bjorn:
I have a price list from february 1999. I think it comes from MCE. The list includes complete systems and parts. In this list an Octane 2xR10000 195MHz MXI 2Gb harddrive cost about $18000. The exchange rate in 1999 was about 8.20SEK for 1$, so it was almost 150000SEK (if anyone else in Sweden is interested ). The list is in print, but I can scan it for you if you want to. Even though an Indigo was old in 1999 it might still be interesting. Interesting info in the periodic tables. Especially the latest one with Origin systems. Seeing an 32cpu Origin2000, once cost close to $1000000, now just for playing around with.
