Fun question. Don't have time to really organize,
but here's
parts of my list:
[snip]
A few good ones you didn't mention:
Starbridge sytems HAL
A new production system that's completely FPGA based, and sports some pretty
impressive performance numbers.
Strictly speaking off-topic since it's a new machine...
SGI Iris 2000
Likely the first serious (depending on your definition of the word)
graphical workstation
Amiga (any)
Aside from being the epitome of desktop computing, it's the only system I
know that's survived <how many?> buy-outs
