A $17k workstation from the 90's would not even be able to browse the internet.

To put it in perspective, we didn't even have multi-core CPUs until the mid 2000's, a mid 90's machine would have around 400 MHz on a single core and that's being generous.

You'd be able to upgrade the insides while still looking opulently golden.
