Vintage Computers as Art

From Boing Boing: Core Memory: A Visual Survey of Vintage Computers

Looks pretty cool.

For example, the CDC-6600 was cooled by pumping Freon through the
chassis. Most of the machines were sold to nuclear weapons facilities,
where they were commonly used to play Spacewars. Another military
machine included in the book, SAGE (Semi-Automatic Ground Environment,
1954-1963), analyzed radar data and featured a built-in cigarette
lighter and ashtray. Alderman's text supports Mark Richards's
magnificent portraits of the machines' pretty faces and equally
beautiful guts, a stunning series of "glamour shots" for nerds.
