I still love the aesthetics of early 90s (Desktop) Workstations. Sparc Station 10, Amiga 3000/4000 etc. and this one.

The period on the end of your wikipedia article link is being stripped off by HN's URL parser doodah. Sticking a url encoded period on the end does the trick:

There was a lot of innovative design in the 90s when computers transitioned from being viewed as industrial-like equipment to friendly, humanist tools. I might just be getting old, but there were some really great designs in the 90s. Even things old PC towers like the Inwin Q500 still look good, despite not being the latest fashion.

They are absolutely beautiful, and the Open Windows environment is still gorgeous. Sadly not very useful today but for remote terminal sessions --and you would need a local web browser.

Wondering if the X server would support running one of the newer Firefox builds as a remote display.

I had an Indy at home for some time back then. Now that is a cool looking computerinabox.
