My present super computer, the 25th fastest in the world is a pretty cool piece of equipment, but the most fun was a massive furnace we used to make pellets for a machine called a Mass Spectrometer.
We had to cook powdered sillica up to 1000 degrees celcius to make it a liquid, it was so cool, when you looked into remove the silica, I was so tempted to touch it, becasue it was glowing white hot, so so awesome!
