Good luck finding this. They show up on ebay fairly regularly, but in
the condition you require it won't be cheap. Expect prices of around
$500. I regularly see them sell for around $400 each when in lesser condition that what you describe above. Still, if that's your budget,
you can find them on ebay fairly regularly, although the frequency of
listing does drop off over longer time frames (e.g. years).
The Fuel machines seem to be still used for productive work, or are
highly sought after by collectors, so they still command a price
premium. Even moreso for the Tezro, which I still haven't been able
to acquire due to the amount I'm willing to pay.
For other machines, in order of frequency I've observed on ebay:
Octane, Indy, Indigo^2, Indigo, Personal Iris.
The deskside Onyx, Crimson, Power Series or the fridge sized machines
almost never show up on ebay anymore.
I'm missing a Fuel, Octane2, and O2+...I have all the other SGIs I want
(Iris Indigo and higher).
I'm trying to reverse that trend. But the ONLY reason Fuels are
overpriced is a lot of people threw them in the trash when they stopped >working about 10 years ago... Now they are too expensive due to
artificial scarcity because of early system failures.
Sorry, I used a free usenet server before and they purged this post, so I cannot respond with the original account. I'm the same person that asked this original WTB: Fuel question. I ended up getting a broken 700Mhz Fuel for a great Price on eBay inOctober 2021 and fixing it up! I'm also always interested in another but my immediate want has now been solved...just trying fight my way back to update this old post.
Thanks!Hello, I work for a computer that sells fuels to high end customers. We are looking for help rebuilding some of our bad motherboards. We have a fix for the power supplies. But we do have bad ones that I think they just recycle. Do you expertise in

If have lots of boards that do not work at the moment. We are also trying to flash the boards to accept 700 and 800 CPUs.
Email me or message back if you want.

OK well email at john...@gmail.com . I have figured out the flashing of the motherboards. But we still have motherboards that need repair. Are there any schematics or board layout diagrams for Fuels?
Do you repair fuel motherboards?
Regards,
John
