Back in 1998 when I was using 3D Studio Max (now 3DS Max) version 3 and buying up every issue of 3d world magazine I could get my hands on, the sgi 320 system was there, in the ads taunting me with it's high end (for the time) specs and $7000 price tag a high school student would never afford...

Now years later I bought the empty chassis of a 320 and retrofitted it. It required cutting socket holes for a standard power supply, and building a custom motherboard bracket in plastic, but it works.

It'll be used for controlling my soon to be acquired CNC machine and therefore 3d work.
