I used to have that same ViewSonic monitor used in the video for some time and I think I just recycled it. Mixed feelings seeing someone actually wanting to use one ;) SGI's workstations were super cool. I think I saw one or two in action but never got to actually use one. Another cool graphics workstation from that period was IBM's RS/6000, I remember seeing a demo of Catia running on that and it blew my mind. I'm curious how current day GPU architecture traces its heritage to earlier 3d acceleration if at all. IIRC 3d hardware at the day was about rendering shaded triangles + Z buffer.
