Eh? SGI has made some very groovy-looking stuff! Not just the Indys, but
some machine (I don't remember the name or the model number) has a neat
little waterfall going down the front (after it flows over the
processor(s) on the way to the cooler/heat exchanger/whatever they use. I
saw it from about 30 feet away but couldn't get closer).
A very sexy machine!

Most anything Cray (they get better and better - the SV1s continue the
trend), anything Thinking Machines, anything NeXT. SGI made a few good
machines in the first part of the 1990s, but went downhill fast. Convexs
(C3000s, anyway) are good in yellow and black. I have always like Wyse
stuff, too, like their PC+ XT "clone".
Ugly ones? Lots of them, too many to list...
