barney the Phoenix!
I was doing a little surfing the other day and came across a place selling SGI Indigo2 power supplies. Now, this is a source of pain for me as I had to decommission barney my Indigo2 this past summer due to his burning up a third power supply. Interestingly enough, this place talked about dual-head supplies. These supplies could handle two High Impact board sets or a Maximum Impact and a Solid Impact pair. This places them higher than the models I'd been putting in (and burning up) in barney.
So call me a chump, but I had to try it.
Last weekend I spent the time getting barney out of storage and powered up. He only lasted about 20 mins. before shutting down, but it was enough to convince me that he was back and ready for the new power supply.
This morning, I received UPS shipping information on the package and it'll be here tomorrow. I'm very excited about getting it in and having a complete 30 days to see it run before worrying about a blowout. I'm really excited about getting barney back in the picture again... there's just something about SGI machines that I really love...
