The first *nix workstation I ever sat in front of (at an undergrad CS lab in the early 90s) was a DECStation 2100 with a MIPS R2000.. Sadly they were replaced by Sparcs when Sun made an exclusive deal with our University.

Sadly, these machines are very difficult to find around here (and DEC had a factory in Ireland!)
