The website you should look at is www.stereographics.com. All the basic
info you need is on those pages. Crystal Eyes hooks up directly into all
recent SGI machines (I use it on an Indigo2 IMPACT), and O2 shouldn't be an
exception. A few months ago, we bought CrystalEyes 2 (without the
head-tracker, which is included in the CrystalEyes VR package) for under
$1000 from Qualix Direct. You can check out pricing, configuration and
support for Stereographics products at www.qualixdirect.com.
In my short experience, I have been very satisfied with the product (it
does everything they say it does). It helps to read stereographics'
recommendations for how best to set up the viewing frustums if you want to
maximize the depth effect (in particular, if you want the stereo effect to
extend significantly outward toward you from the screen plane).
Hope that helps.
