[committee] SGI Onyx 2

[Adrian Chadd]

I just phoned Rick - he's waiting for the final approval to release the
rack and parts. He seems to think it'll be ready for pick up in a week
or two.

I've just secured (heh) the Onyx sitting over in EE. Someone might want
to make some space at UCC for it, I'll be carrying it over in bits after
I finish work tonight..
