My fastest computer at home is an RS/6000 Powerserver 930. (25 Mhz POWER)
I use that and a pair of SS2s (in third party rack cases) as my main machine.
I sit in front of a 19" 1280x1024 *mono* NCD x-terminal. I have a 8-bit
colour one as well, but mono is better.

Want list:

	PDP-1

	X terminal with 24 bit colour. (So I can calibrate it.)

	More Sun-4/300 boards so I can fill up my x/x80 VME chassis
	with a nice slow cluster.

The CM-2A is insanely cool looking.

I don't think any modern machine looks as good as the big iron from
the 40s - 60s though.
