I've been compiling lists of film and television

important computer artifacts (one would be surprised at the variety of
significant hardware in 1950-60's TV, especially sci-fi anthology

There was a Cyber 180-series machine in a Bruce Willis vehicle about an
office building on fire (can't remember the title--I live in a deeper cave
than Michael does). The hardware was actually provided by CDC, although I'm
not sure whether they realized the machine would be destroyed on screen. In
any event, the set dressing was only the machine frame and skins--no
circuitry inside.
