- Old school Silicon Graphics O2 Workstation mostly for imaging.
Very expensive back in the mid 90's but today I turn it into scrap :)
Just had to open one up to see and get the main components out to use to rebuild two good ones.

Those things are highly sought after. Those are collectable.
When you get down to it it's a really elegant design.
The CPU is a MIPS architecture RV5000 made but IDT (Integrated Device Technology). What looks like a stretched out S is the Mathematical symbol for Integration, hence Integrated Device Technology.
They used to have a manufacturing facility in Salinas, California. But in 2018 they have since been acquired by a company that was formed from the semiconductor divisions of Hitachi and Mitsubishi.
You have to compliment the designers of that case. They took it to a whole different level.
Yeah they designed that whole thing to come apart with almost zero tools only to watch a speed limit IQ ape smash it to pieces.
When manhandled plastics do break.
Its not SDT, that one is integral sign (math function). The cpu is IDT R5000.
150 MHz pure math :)
I have had one since the late 90s and its been sitting on my desk ever since. I would love having a second one. The plastic wasn't originally brittle, but over the years it started deteriorating.
Great teardown Ben. You are the first scrapper I ever followed on you tube. Thanks for the inspiration
Thanks 👍
@@eWasteBenwhat a fucking moron you are. You lost $300-$400 trashing this.

It is the plastic decaying, either by itself or helped by the storage conditions. I have seen plastics becoming brittle like salty crackers. Not even super old plastics, stuff from the mid 90's.
Such a beautiful CPU!!! And very nice boards.
You scrapped that beauty?
THESE ARE WORTH ALOT ON EBAY
The price just went up because of this monkey.
Please don't kill rare old computer stuff! There are whole communities dedicated to restoring and keeping alive these pieces of computing history! On a business standpoint the additional time it takes to sell these things will be payed tenfold the scrap value of many things.
How many are you storing at your house to help?
He also seems to be keeping the cool computer hardware parts anyways
Might be reading you wrong lol did u watch the video?
The plastic lmao omg
@@chadcmb Two O2s, several Indigos, a few Indys, along with assorted peripherals and software. Add to that lots of Sun Equipment (from Pizzabox style Sparcstations to earlier Ultras, and a handful of 19" equipment) and Commodore "Home Computing" parts and machines from C64 to Amiga 4000. Sometimes I give parts or machines to local hackerspaces that are interested in restoring or exploring older computers...
What's your point?
if you ever pick up an sgi indy, make sure to check for the ultra-rare n64 dev board. It'll have 6 "phone jacks" on the back, along with a nintendo video port. Then on the board, it should have a blue piece of tape on it with the ID number. I'd give you 2k easy for one of these
autoplay lol
This moron would scrap a valuable piece of history like that. If he’s had many SGIs over the years he’s probably destroyed more value than his net worth/car/and house. This guy seems to only know how to lose money. He’s like am the barbarians that pulled the marble off the Colosseum to burn it for cheap lime.
i had a massive pile like that of cable ive finally finished sorting
These are worth a bit of money whole.
You should check the hard drives for interesting research stuff I found a research disk for a software company in Quebec for knee surgery device still had the source code on the hdd one hdd was missing so I only had a partial I should try to build the source tho
People collect these. They're worth ~$200 on eBay.
They’re worth up to $3,000 or more with the right hardware. This scrap guy has room temperature IQ.
@@lookoutforchris as they always do
Ben, what Ryobi are you using? Is it one of those Impact Drivers?
Yes..I have one too but I prefer my old Rockwell..much lighter and easier on the old arms!
Brittle because its gotten hot many times maybe while being used?
Wow, looks like you've been busy, great to see another quality EWaste Ben documentary!
I try to keep the old cpu's in the seat on the board to save it from bent pins
Thanks Ben for showing us one of the rare ones! Great video! Thumbs up. Jim
He just made these rarer.
Did you say "Kewl Bananas"? ...lol... haven't heard that since the mid 80s mate...lol... use to say "Kewl Beans" also
9 chip instead of 8 chip memory has built in error correction built in mainly for servers
Great teardown Ben, I have never seen ICs slanted on a board like that to fit them in! Very intersting!! You can always tell when people haven't actually watched the video or your channel properly, just go in on you for scrapping, clearly haven't watched you save all the components for restoration and your buyer etc etc, they clearly don't appreciate that you are also a collector and how much you used to try to sell on ebay etc! Why people come and watch a scrapping channel and then moan about some things being scrapped is beyond me, I get it too, I'm sure we all do, but the service that you have done for the planet outweighs any negative a millionfold as far as I'm concerned! Keep it up!!
You’re completely wrong, this guy is a top notch moron. He’s clearly not mechanically inclined at all and he can’t be bothered to look up how to actually take this system apart. This whole thing is modular and comes apart easily, and he’s cracking it up like a monkey with a screw driver. The plastic is very valuable on these. The plastic base/skirt which he destroys goes for $125 on eBay. As a complete system this thing is $300-$400. As parts you might get more like $500-$600 but it will take longer to sell. He destroyed almost all the value here and lost money. Stop cheering this brain dead parasite on.
What exactly do you think he’s restoring? He lost a lot of money in this video. The black plastic base he smashes to get off (it’s held on with 2 screws but this guy is so dumb he shouldn’t be allowed to turn screws anyway) is worth $125 on eBay. He lost $300-$400 for the complete system here, more like $500-$600 if you parted it out. The shit he saved like the hard drive is nearly worthless. The stuff he destroyed like the plastic, mechanicals, boards, that’s the valuable stuff. Your comment is completely off base.
Quit cheering on these morons.
Can you do another street scrapping video
Well that was painful to watch...sure wish I got these machines for free. Christ.
Looks like a basic r5000 I’m gonna do the r7000 mod to get a 600mhz machine
No street scrapping videos.
Ben if you recorded everything you did I think I would watch. I will never have access to the technology that you have and I love seeing it all.
hey ben ever consider doing a q and a? u rock king
Thanks Ben I have never seen one of those it was very interesting and enjoyable six stars brother
You like watching monkeys destroy money?
Alpha chip? sdc
I've seen this brand before, but I never knew they were a specialty product for graphics. I always thought that they are some kind expensive luxury brand. LOL
they are, their computers were like 50,000$
They weren’t specialty, they were industry standard. Everything used to be done on SGI if it was visual or 3D. They had sales of $2B a year in the 90s.
@@x0j That's the upper end of the midrange, or the low end of the higher stuff. The entry desktops were 5K+. Top end systems could be 1M; I know because I have one in my garage, it was originally bought by Ford for $1.5M.
Why were these so expensive back in the day?! $16,000 seems like an awful lot.
unix + realtime 3d opengl +video editing for tv broadcasting
Because they were specialist computers. At the time this was built, it's only real competition was Acorn's RISC powered Archimedies machine which was also capable of on-the-fly video effects.
To put it into perspective, the best Intel Pentium PC struggled to create broadcast quality video, so was used purely to run backup storage.
Hey Ben, do you have tiktok? If not someone is stealing your video clips. Just wanted to let you know.
Also great content here as well! Thank you for your videos!!!
They even used your logo.

Every clipbreaks lol!
That’s what happens to plastic when a monkey attacks it with a screwdriver.

I think you coulda sold it more as parts only or working if working than for scrap. I would love to get one even if its broken.
wow its not broken mechanical typewritter Sir
❤❤❤👍👍👍😎😎😎
Good evening, how are you, my friend? How can I contact you?
email in video description
I wrote you a message but it failed to send. I don't know why. If you had another way to communicate, it would be better
@eWasteBen I don't need to remind you of the dark underbelly of humanity, but this looks like it
@@richavic4520 100% looks like a scammer.
is it working? you should keep it to sell as vintage worth some bucks
You must be deaf... He said multiple times through the video that he has three of them, and he has a friend who is going to rebuild him one out of all three. That's why he just took it apart without destroying all the electronics.
You really need to talk to your doctor and get some pills.
❤❤❤🇮🇳🇮🇳👌🙏
You selling these.
👍👍👍👍

Happy Christmas to you and the chuck
i used to love them for animating nice find make sure you get the full spcs machine with the graphics cards arrrr no you dont hand pull like that where is your big hard drive your cards??you need to stop destructing stuff lol what if the boards gone parts are not on shelfs at the pc shop ya knows lol my ones was massive servers for rendering there no that expensive lol at 500 dollars your joking yes heads up a riser card it £4.99p if it was the big rendering server maybe still a nice find sound card there are what connect to the big girls you would have had mulity in outs for vid and sound and fader spacer inputs for your cameras and carriers when i left that i used fast edit with multi lead inpuits outs thue fast edit on to muti head vcr with still flame and gogger wheel was all ex wallace and gromit boards from harrdman the old scusi system boards i built them into a hybreed system lol thats still when my brain fired on all cylinders oh remember Panasonic AG-7350 VCR VHS S-VHS 8 Heads Industrial Pal Video Players 4 miss it all so so much now have time to play again now if you see them they go about £300 to 500
hello ewaste ven plis module laser plis saludos desde argentina
Sadly in the UK we have a WEEE regulations, which means businesses need to have an audit trail for asset disposal, so you never get free scrap! Nothing in the dumpster worth diving for!
I do ok, you've just gotta work around it! 😉 I agree it's a ballache and an extra hurdle though!
Hella good
nice Ben
You could get a lot more money for sellign the parts then you could for scrap
No coment ben😢
Thank god your restoring / selling keeping
He destroyed this thing nearly completely. What do you think he’s restoring?
@@lookoutforchris he said that he won’t be scrapping it. He’s building out and restoring them. He says it right in the video. If he scrapped it he would be a speicial kind of stupid because these are quite valuable
ob un csico de fibra optica
Very cool old School pc
I think it is non an "o two" machine. I suppose it is the Silicon Graphics Oxygene. The chemical formula for this gas is O2.
I think the case or the whole machine worth selling not scrapping, even its condition is "unknown". There are fans of these machines around the world, or PC Case modders, who like to chop this machine, and build a new PC inside.
The machine is indeed called "O Two".
well, to be honest -this was 😭😭😭very barbaric
Nice scrap
Yayyy🎉🎉

disgusting how you not respect anything, you just throw it away what other people have created and built without any respect to the item, without any respect to environment. Really sad to see.
Guys like this are parasites. They have no idea the value of anything. He’d probably melt down a million dollar Ferrari to sell the aluminum for $40.
This is not a PC.
Have a good day man of God and a blessed rest of the year remember Jesus loves you if you are looking for good book to read the KJV Bible is a good one the words come to live.see you later brother
Pray for those who curses you and count it all as joy Brother
