>> They were stylish. Not many were back then.
The 90's were full of stylish cases. Maybe it's just nostalgia but there were so many cool looking computers back then.
SGI did make them another level of cool. Purple computers! Even something like an Indy that was just going to sit in a web farm looked cool.

Maybe I missed them but most of x86 market that I personally saw was dull beige or black boxes. The SunBlades, SGI, and Next Cubes were neat. What else I miss outside outfits doing custom boxes like Alienware?
Another feature I liked was two motherboards. I didn't get to buy one but I figured you could theoretically get extra reliability out of it.
