[rescue] WTB: SGI

[rescue at sunhelp.org]

I've seen an SI octane for 1195 or so, 195mhz 256 or 512meg.  Only place
the i2 beats it is textureing, and pick up a tex module for 875/2 (someone
was selling two brand new octane tex modules for 875, gah I need
cash).  Once that is done kiss the i2 g'bye.
