While I love the original purple tones and the H960 cabinets, perhaps because
they fit with most of the other DEC gear I've collected, I think that the
commercial
blue tones and Vax style cabinets are sexy as hell too. If I had loads of space,
money and time, I would love to have all of the variet
Speaking of cabinet variants: if you ever run into a "Corita" cabinet, with the
abstract art on the side, be sure to hang on to it. I'm not sure how many were
built, probably not all that many.
Another variation I know of: I think it was the Vaxstation-2 that came in a
small roll-around cabine

I have both (though the H960 variant needs restoration).
I actually find that the corporate blue cabinets to be easier to deal with.
One aspect is that it’s a “package” rather than multiple H960 racks. Why
is that important? Because the corporate cabinets did nice things like
provide cable runs

I think the decdatasystem 570 is pretty, but coloured like an ice
H960

Random question
would you prefer having, if you had to pick only one, the original PDP
11/70 or the newer "blue cabinets" PDP 11/70, assuming both were complete
configurations with racks of storage etc as they would have been sold, more
or less.
Assume space and power are not issues, consider just
