    Value of a Pixar machine

    A buddy of mine recently passed. He had a bunch of old computer equipment including a Pixar animation computer. I think they made about 300 of them.
    Q- What is the value of this thing? I have no idea if it works. Its probably mid 90s machine?

    The photo is not the actual machine, but very similar.

    Looks like the guts are Sun or SGI. Neat computers back in the day. I had some SGI Indy, O2, and Octane computers and a bunch of Sun Sparc stations. Or maybe the SGI was just a connected controlling terminal? I dunno.

    I don't know what the value would be now. It would be more retro sentimental than useful. According to wikipedia those things were a couple hundred grand back in the day. I know we couldn't give our Indy and Sparc stations away after a while.

    Looks like they were up to $30k on eBay but dunno if they actually sold for that. They are from the mid-late 80s.
