Cleaning the office this weekend I pulled out a 4mm DAT tape drive that was used with an SGI system (running I-DEAS) about 10 years ago. Cost about $1500 then. A quick look at Ebay shows that you can't give them away now.
Last year I got rid of a PC that I built in '99 or so. It used a recycled 64 MB RAM kit from one of the SGIs. That RAM cost 3000+ in '95. I don't think you can buy as little as 64 MB today.
So, there's 4500 1995 dollars in the bin for just a couple of components. In today's dollars, that would build a couple of powerful workstations.
