I cheated and found it with Google Image Search but I kept quiet to let 
others run it down.

They don't really talk about the guts, at all. Also by 1995 SGI had 
already made a lot of really cool machines, but hey others were free to 
join in! 

Honestly, I didn't say much because at first I thought they were coffee 
machines, espresso makers, or some other non-computer. Then when someone 
piped up with "Isn't that an early XYZ Frobniz-2000 with the acceleration 
module?" he'd spring it on them saying "GOTCHA! It's a coffee maker!" :-P
