You can hardly beat the coolness factor of the SGI workstations. Ignore the Macs in the corner. 😀

The Onyx and Crimson cases were the stuff of my nineties dreams, which is probably why I like my Corsair AIR540 better than any case I've owned:

I've always thought that the Commodore PET line had pretty damn cool designs.

Also, I legitimately love the looks of those pre-VGA IBM monitors (5151, 5153, 5154) - probably the coolest-looking pieces of hardware in IBM's personal computer lines, even if that by itself doesn't say a lot.

The IBM JX, comes up for sale once in a blue moon on Yahoo Japan auctions. It's pretty snazzy for 1984. Actually, I don't think the domestic PCjr is bad looking at all.

Good catch on the JX, it's quite the looker, especially with that keyboard color scheme.

The Franklin Ace 2200 is a mean looking mofo too:

Commodore Amiga-4000 Tower. Around 200 machines were ever build.
