There are several alternatives to workstations if you want X-windows support
but don't want to pay 10 to 20K for it.  I know the Amiga has X-windows
available for around 3 to 4K (this includes A2000, hard disk, ethernet for
TCP/IP, X-windows software, etc.).  Since the screen resolution is only
640x400, it won't look as nice as a MicroVAX or Sun, but if you can live with
that then it might be worth looking into.
Macs, IBM/PClones, etc. also have or will have X-windows...
