Old-school Unix desktop inspiration

I'm putting together a new Arch build soon and want to go for something with a kind of retro-Unix look.
Something like Window Maker, Fluxbox or even Maxx Desktop.

I had a search around the forum, but couldn't many recent posts on the topic.

So, if your system has this vibe I'd love to see screenshots!

[edit: just realized this should probably be moved to the screenshots board, oops.]

If you really want a retro UNIX look, try twm. It looks like old-style UNIX Motif.
