@davidseidl@mstdn.social Octane is already heavy for a workstation, but Onyx (1) which also classifies as "deskside" is very high on the list.

@flexion@oldbytes.space I worked for a video production company, so we ran a lot of Discreet Logic's Flame/Smoke/Fire workstations - so Octanes and Indigo 2's (and I think I recall a Tezro by the end - we were switching to Windows boxes for a lot of things by then). My own collection has an O2, which is still dense but at least it's not too bad to move around!

@flexion@oldbytes.space @davidseidl@mstdn.social FWIW, the SGI Onyx2 deskside was certainly heavy (roughly 75kg, IIRC) ... but Thumpers / Thors (Sun x4500/x4550) were almost exactly the same weight at just 4U tall - that is A LOT denser.
