What's going on here. Can I help? Test?

I have a whole shitload of SGI's here:

Indigo R3000 33MHz
Indy R4400 150MHz
o2 R5000 180MHz
Indigo2 R4400 250MHz
Indigo2 R10000 195MHz
Octane R12000 300MHz

Scream if I can do something with them for this project. They are just sitting 
here (Except for the Octane, that's my main workstation :)

That looks like a lot of work. i've never worked at an OS before, but Hey, I 
got to start some day somewhere, not? I have no clue what I could do, but 
there must be something (Even if it's just testing/trying some things some 
day)
