While at SGI, I was responsible for the mechanical design and ID of the Origin 2000 scalable computer systems larger than eight processors. The modular design - code named "Lego" - scaled to 1024 processors, using eight-processor deskside workstations cabled together as building-blocks for incrementally greater computing power. The product design conveyed modularity, scalability, and - what was at the time - unique complex surfacing capabilities of the underlying machine.
