It has never been clear to me if they were donated or sold at cost. I have heard both stories. To put this in an historical perspective, SGI was riding high on hype from Jurassic Park and Sun was desperate to share in the publicity. So they gave Pixar a sweetheart deal in exchange for "promotional consideration."
