Selected as Irelands information age town by Telecom Eirinn (as they were then known) as a testbed town for all sorts of interesting technologies. Every household in the town and surrounding areas was given a computer and high bandwidth internet connection and they do a lot of experimentation with cutting edge stuff.
I use a modern SGI Octane at work - Output of the hinv command : 2 225 MHZ IP30 Processors CPU: MIPS R10000 Processor Chip Revision: 3.4 FPU: MIPS R10010 Floating Point Chip Revision: 0.0 Main memory size: 1024 Mbytes Instruction cache size: 32 Kbytes Data cache size: 32 Kbytes Secondary unified instruction/data cache size: 1 Mbyte Integral SCSI controller 0: Version QL1040B (rev. 2), single ended Disk drive: unit 1 on SCSI controller 0 Integral SCSI controller 1: Version QL1040B (rev. 2), single ended CDROM: unit 4 on SCSI controller 1 IOC3 serial port: tty1 IOC3 serial port: tty2 Graphics board: ESI Integral Fast Ethernet: ef0, version 1, pci 2 Iris Audio Processor: version RAD revision 12.0, number 1
The CPU's are fairly slow but it doesn't matter too much as they're very rarely the cause of bottlenecks.

I'd definately get a laugh out of it if that happened - well for a while anyway ............
Programming is great craic when you're stoned.
Very slow but very sure.
