I noticed that someone with a bunch of O2 parts seems to have finally given up and started lower the prices. I've bought a new CD driver cover (they break notoriously easily) and a long coveted 300mhz CPU upgrade. I haven't gotten around to installing them yet though. I haven't used the machine in about 12-15 years.

I probably should be keeping an eye out for maxing out my Octane and Fuel as well now before it is really too late.

You know, there's an after-market upgrade to 700 Mhz (and 4 Mb cache?) for lower speced O2 without using expensive SGI parts. Kinda hacky, but it seems to work.

If you google it you'll see what it is. I dont have an O2 so I dont remember the details.
