Oh, and I've got a mother of a machine. PowerPC Mac G4 400Mhz 320Mb. Fast, mean and stable. So there.

don't include IRIX, or keyboards or even a fuckin' monitor, and those babies aren't standard on an Indy. Having said that you may not be able to argue at 99 quid for a 21" Apple badged trinitron monitor, which is pretty much what I'm using right now. Though mine was free :)
