On: SGI's $250,000 Graphics Supercomputer from 1993 – ...

Could be converted to a cool mini-fridge

Let's please stop doing that to interesting vintage computers. Well, at least to working (or fixable) ones. I cringe every time someone shows off that sort of project.

While I was not suggesting doing to this particular model I would imagine a good chunk of them end up in a landfill.

Something that looks cool and is cube shaped, but way less useful, like an SGI Crimson would make a better fridge.

SGI famously converted one of their Crimsons (which was a commercial failure) into a fridge and beer tap...

The Silicon Graphics crew did like their case mods. Adding to the list: a demo team had a deskside O2K with a top air-intake and side exhaust pipes like a dragster engine.

It still runs. Let's keep the fridges to "for parts" ebay purchases for computers that combo of old and interesting.

I was not suggesting this particular system.

[voxadam → qaq]

Or a toaster oven.

Or legendary Espressigo https://youtu.be/NPvIs0I-gmg

[abcd_f → Keyframe]

Damn. This should fit our Rancilio Silvia just like that... brb.

[qaq → Keyframe]

This is really cool
