I've often thought that you can see the
beauty of machinery (including
computers) on many levels. Most classic computers are not particularly
beautiful to look at, but there can be beauty in how they're assembled (I
personally think the HP9816 is an interesting construction), there can be
beauty in the elkectronic design, or the firmware, or... You just have to
look for it.
Agreed, which leads me to NeXT cube as my nomination. Though the
mainboard design is not a particular standout, chassis design,
appearance, and software all appeal strongly to my aesthetics.
