You know? I had to work with the Siemens Mipsen(RM400/600 with Sinix/Reliant Unix) for some time. They were built like a tank, with massive cases, and usually almost silent because of that.
Thinking about that now, they could have been featured in some post-apocalyptic game like Fallout, or similar :-)

a different firmware/bootloader and usually lacked the graphics option, apart from a simple framebuffer.
