I think they wanted the computer to look more
hackeresque. In the
screenplay, David built his computer from junk, cobbling it together over
time, kinda hard to cobble an Apple case and motherboard over time.
Then how come everything he had was IMSAI brand name (CPU, modem, disk
drives, keyboard)? If they wanted it to seem like he cobbled it together
they should have had him with an IMSAI CPU, a CompuPro dual 8" disk drive
unit, a VT-100 terminal, some funky Racal-Vadic modem, etc.
BTW, if you look closely you'll see that the top is off of the IMSAI and
it has ribbon cables coming out of it. Not very apparent though.
