Was the "Straight 8" designed as a computer, or an art piece? ;)
* SGI Indigo R4K Elan
Oh YES! I love my Indigos. It's hands down the nicest workstation ever
made. So easy to dismantle and put back together again. Very sleek
looking. And it's the machine that got me collecting classic computers
in the first place:

* DEC PDP-8 (The original "Straight 8")
I love it, but I think the Linc-8 is slightly sexier. No smoked plexi,
but what a console. * DEC PDP-10 (in general, but specifically the
console of the KI10)
Definitely the sexiest mainframe! Though I prefer the KA-10 console. Hmm
perhaps the PDP-6 should win though, at least with the big round display:
