I don't think you can do it, unless SGI gives you a big discount
since you are a University. The only thing I have seen that would
come close to what you want would be and SGI Personal IRIS 4D/20.
I think that would give you 8 bit planes of color, 19" color monitor,
and a disk, I think. 19" monitor is a must. I would buy an extra
8Mb of memory from a 3rd party to make a total of 16Mb on the Personal.
8Mb in a 4D/20 just isn't enough to do anything and 16Mb is the current
max memory on them. 8 bit planes may not be enough color for you.
For the price you are limited to, SGI 4D/20 would be the best way
to go. Can you be any more specific on your requirements?
I hope this is some help.
