It seems like a lot of people here, I was always interested by weird and wonderful computers as I grew up, and had heard of the Indy and seen pics of it. About a year ago, my college was dumping out a load of old machines, amongst which was a perfectly functional Indy which I rehoused. I like that 'designed from the ground up' feel of it in terms of both hardware and software, as opposed to the sort of hacked together way PCs are.
The Indy I have is a quite slow, being an R4000 with 64MB of RAM. I was considering upgrading it, but the amount of money that would require means that it would be more cost effective for me to get one of the faster SGI machines from eBay or the SGI Depot.
As for other workstations, there's plenty of Sun machines in my college (mainly Sun Blade 100s, but there's a few unused Sparcstation 5s and Sparc Classics around the place). To be honest however, I find them kind of boring... I wish I could get my hands on something more exotic like an AlphaStation or RS/6000 for my collection.
