those are CONRACs for sure. Raster Vector design. the foreground is def 3D. Megatek is my guess. 1983 ish. prob $40-50K at the time. I also had a CONRAC for PCB design in 1988 and had to repair it twice. 19" I recall. We had to ban smoking in the design R&D room because these were smoke magnets inside

Did you ever get to just explore with them or was there always like a time-is-money pressure to deliver while using them?

Monitor case looks huge. Assuming the logic boards were also in the case. With a linear PSU it would have been a nice space heater.
