The irony of building something so expensive, opulent and heirloom worthy around one of the most rapidly depreciating assets you can buy (technology)

I mean, a 17k$ (back then) workstation from the 90s would still be fine. People love their SGI and Sun machines.

Not sure how much they did cost back then, I was born in 1996, but you get the idea.
