List of obscure and stupid computer stuff that I'd like to own:

EyeMWing

Banned
Itanium system.
Anything by WANG
iMac aquarium (I already have the case, but not the initiative to turn it into anything)
A modern computer with no moving parts (Solid state storage, passive cooling)
A dumb terminal
Apple IIe with a totally badassed rig built into it

That's all, thank you.
 
Hey, there is nothing wrong with dumb terminals! I have an old IBM 5153 dumb terminal at work, and it's great for diagnosing servers with video problems.

Good luck finding a reasonably priced Itanium system, though!
