Structural

Mechanical
The Difference Engine, considered to be the world's first computer - conceived and prototyped in 1822, could do automatic calculations through a mechanical process. This machine is beautiful when turned on.
iPod
This is what the inside of the 1st generation iPod looked like - had a 1.8 inch hard drive with 5GB capacity.
To infitity and beyond
The ZX Spectrum computer, released in 1982 with 16K of RAM, is most remember for it's funky keyboard.
Encrpyted

Intel 486
This is the computer my former co-founder, Chris Burnor, learned how to code on.
Analog Snake
Before digital there were analog computers - this was the Telefunken RAT 700/2 analog computer - which was considered to be a "desktop" computer weighing in excess of 220 pounds.
Intertwined
There is a whole other class of computers called super computers - used for weather forcasting, climate research, molecular modeling, and other large scale research activities. Pictured are the internals of two different super computers, the ILLIAC IV and the CDC 7600.
Repeating Circuts
Repeating patters from a design of air cooled integrated circuts, prodouced by the Amdahl Corporation - were used in many of the former large scale mainframe computers.
