It might be an April 1st prank, so be careful. But if SCO has gone, then it was (a) buying Cray and (b) selling Windows clusters that killed it.

It was my understanding from last looking at their financials that the sales through the CRAY division were the only thing keeping SGI alive. They got cray for pennies (5million?) and turned around and started building huge multiprocessor machines using their in house MIPS chips. Actually made a number of high profile sales in the tens of millions of dollars range.
