I Have an indigo that has not gotten much use aside from when i first picked it up. It has the bigger power supply as well and is maxed out on memory. As a last resort, I could sell you my machine. It boots, I had rigged a peice of jumper wire to the battery to overcome a flat battery, i did not want to attempt desoldering the battery on board. I have been focusing less on the smaller workstations like the indigo and octane and have been using my onyx and crimson, so I am looking to get rid of the smaller workstations.
