Disk upgrade options are as follows (old disk along the top, new disk
down the side on the left), eg. to upgrade from a 9GB to a 1.6"
7200rpm 36GB is +30, or from an 18GB to a 10k 1" 73GB is +40:

By default, none of the systems above come with keyboard or mouse (these
are priced separately). Also, none of them have front door panels; these
are available separately aswell. All systems have a few scratches, though
better condition cases are be available on request.
All systems with 4GB or 9GB are using a 7200 rpm 1" SCA disk with SCSI adapter. All systems with 18GB or 36GB drives are using a 10000rpm 1" SCA disk with SCSI adapter.
R3K systems normally have IRIX 5.3 with XFS installed; R4K systems have IRIX 6.5.22m installed, though I can install 6.2 instead if preferred, and will do so if the RAM is 64MB or less (or if the disk is less than 4GB). R4K systems with 6.5.22m have the same full installation I do for Indy or Indigo2 systems, eg. a typical installed software list in swmgr would look much like this. For R3K systems, I've also spent a lot of time constructing a good installation with as much software installed as possible. Media is not included, but I can supply a set for extra (email for details.
See the shipping costs page for details of postage charges to the UK, mainland Europe and beyond. For UK destinations, a typical cost would be 12.50 UKP by PF48. Alternatively, a personal collection is also welcome (I live in Edinburgh).
Note that Entry graphics has a max resolution of 1024x768 with 8bit colour and is no good for 3D tasks, but it does at least have both types of monitor output socket (SGI 13W3, plus the PC-type HD15). Also be aware that XS systems without a Z buffer board may not be able to run certain 3D applications (certainly some standard SGI demos cannot run if the Z board is not present).
I've spent alot of time reorganising these Indigos, taking them completely apart, down to the bare chassis, for a thorough cleaning, but also moving parts around so that functional components are in the better-condition chassi, creating good disk installations (eg. 5.3 with applications, IDO, patches, XFS update, freeware, etc.) Thus, although keyboards and mice are not included, these systems have at least been properly sorted for resale; you won't find better!
