I'm thinking an eighties workstation like a Sun 3. If you can find one, an SGI Indigo or early NeXT cube. Much closer to an Amiga than to a modern system, but even more funky and exotic hardware.
I wouldn't consider an X server running on one of those "still useful" but others might disagree.
- rbanffy 5y agoI used an IBM PPC-based 43P as a work machine for some time. It can't run a modern browser, but back then using NetBeans running on my laptop was perfectly doable. Using Emacs and a terminal will work really well. Using one of these machines as a workstation is not much different from an older Raspberry Pi - you'll need to do the heavy lifting on the other side of the network anyway. The killer feature of this specific 43P was that it came with a gargantuan Intergraph CRT monitor.
