    The left image looks like an old Cray computer. Could be an interesting indicator of the age of the image or the artist who made it.

        I think their point stands. I wonder if the creator of the show was directly influenced by Cray.

      Cray (the company) often had interesting designs that probably ended up influencing a lot of sci-fi. CDC (control data corporation) had interesting designs as well, prior to that, and Cray (the person) worked there before founding his own company.

      One other supercomputer line with iconic looks is Connection Machines which are IMO some of the coolest looking computers ever made.
