Yeah, I had one at university, years ago - I'd prefer an IPX over a Classic any time - mainly because of the cg6 on the mainboard ( the classic has only a dumb cg3 ) and the 40MHz Fujitsu CPU didn't feel at all slower than the 50MHz MicroSPARC in the classic - must be the bigger cache. So, if I had to get a lunchbox-sized Sun I'd go for an IPX or an LX but avoid the Classic ( well, at least as long as I'd have to connect a monitor sometimes )

have fun
