DECStation 5000/25: Firbolg
I used to run a DECStation 5000/25 (named ``Firbolg'') with 40MB of RAM and a 25Mhz R3000 processor with NetBSD 1.6.1 installed. I've since had a hard drive failure, but I plan on getting it going again sometime soon as a DNS server. At one time it acted as a shell and IRC server for friends who like to use irssi and play angband until Lapis Lazuli came along as a faster replacement.
It has the fancy graphics adapter, a 17" monitor with the evil sync-on-green design and the DEC 4800-bps serial keyboard and mouse. Firbolg also has a secondary hard drive, an external Sun enclosure with a 1.3G Seagate ST41600N drive (which holds /usr). Overall, it runs remote X applications surprisingly quickly for such old hardware (1991 vintage).
I don't have a picture of Firbolg, but here's what a generic DECStation looks like:
