For direct to ugly...
Commodore PET
netronics explorer-85
intel mds800
minutman missle computer (lots of ways ugly!)
I can think of others but those were pretty ugly on an esthetic basis
and a few were ugly from a human factors standpoint (pet chicklet keys).
Programming the serial disk computer of the MMC was really nasty.

That doesn't count! Those computers were meant to be out on public
display for less than a half an hour each, depending on the targeting
data.
