Scope out this picture if you have time:

You can totally see the RCA jacks and other non-Apple-II-normal stuff 
going on back there. It's wacky looking and they totally got the "boring 
school A/V equipment" look down. However, now, in "retro" spect, (sorry) 
it looks a little cool. It's a bit like a Russian clone built like a brick 
****hou**.
