How about the Sun 3/80? It's a 68030 box with *awesome* Unix (SunOS), a
great programming environment, plenty of professional applications
available, for around $5K without disk. You can buy it with 8- or 24-bit
color if you need that. Talk about a funky box, the 3/80 is about the
size of a Mega. And again, it's a *Sun*. Anyone who's ever worked with
a Sun and SunOS can appreciate that.
I'm, typing this article on a 3/60, the older 68020-based Sun, running
X-Windows with TWM. It's hard to believe that the Mac II is based on the
same 68020 hardware. It's seems *so* much less capable!!! If I ever have
the money to buy a 68030 workstation, it'll be a Sun.
