		I have always liked SGI computers, mainly for their graphics prowess, and the fact that not everyone and their mother has one(like how Gateway 2000's were back in 1993).
		That doesn't mean Onyx's are usable much in the home, due to their power requirements; but Indigo machines and the like should run great.
		The Onyx is THE graphical supercomputer; it is what big companies such as Ford and GM use to develop the newest prototype cars and trucks.
