The Indigo Espresso (http://www.reputable.com/eile/Pictures/misc/espressigo.jpg) clearly has it beat, in my opinion.

Oh man, I wish.

No, it's not mine. Just another novelty of the internet that someone cooked up.

A friend of mine has a working Indigo just like that, though. It's faster (bogomips-wise), and has more RAM than his main x86 box (96MB as opposed to 64MB, if I recall correctly).

There're some computer surplus stores down here near San Jose, probably closer to Sunnyvale, who have a lot of old (but very cool, nonetheless) stuff like this.

WeirdStuff (www.weirdstuff.com) is a very cool place, flexible prices, and a huge as-is (read: not garunteed to work) area, in the back.

Last I saw, they had some Indys, an Indigo, an Indigo2 case (no guts), more than a small amount of Sun hardware, and an original NeXT Cube (magnesium alloy case, and everything).

Very cool place.

For the first few pictures, are those photoshopped? It looks kinda crazy. If they're not, then what kind of material is that? It looks kinda like glass, but why would they make glass and then a plastic frame on top of it?
