If you go to Amazon today and buy just the CPUs and RAM, that will cost you around 21 million dollars. So I imagine those used parts are still worth substantially more than the current high bid. The close of the auction should be interesting. Still pretty sure nobody intends to re-install and run any part of the whole system, but who knows. Maybe there are other SGI systems still out there.
