> Alexis, You need an attetuide [sic] tune up. Feel free to voice these concerns privately. You do have my e-mail address in the profile. But contradiction an attitude does not make. > The SGI price releases today, only confirmed my pricing estimates. > call your own sales reps for pricing info. I have my own pricing info, as I am an SGI System Engineer. You implied that you could not buy a useable dual PII-450 configuration (defining 'useable' as needing Ultra2SCSIm, BTW, and implying that you need the SGI 21" monitor for it to be useable, too) for less than $10K, which is simply not correct, and expecting contradiction to these statements to imply an attitude is rather awkward. I'm pricing (at US list price) a -320 chassis -two PII-450, 512K SC. -256 MB RAM (I'm running the Adobe suite on a 50MB+ image with ten layers, Maya on parts of the Bingo project, 3D Studio Max, and a few molecular modeling apps on my demo system with this much memory) -32x CD-ROM -9.1GB Ultra2 SCSI drive -21" monitor (these are not 19" -- they have about 20" viewable) -keyboard, mouse -OS and manuals -On-site next business day, 5x9, years 1-2 hardware support For a grand total of $7662, barring any mistakes I could have made (note that this is not an official quote, I'm only here as a person, not an SGI representative). That is definitely not in the range $10K-$13K, and is not even if you bump up the memory to 512MB ($8862).
