IBM 360/40
Oh, no...if you're gonna do it, make it something like the 360/91 or 360/195. The more blinkenlights, the better.
Cray 1
Didn't really have a front panel, tho. Several people have done a Cray-1 3d print case.
CDC 6600
Since the 'operator console' for the 6600 was a dual vector scope display (think giant oscilloscopes), this would be awesome.
- cameron_b 3y agoIirc Cray used a Data General Nova as an operators console for some of their systems. It’s a different color scheme, but pleasingly similar tactile qualities
- kjs3 3y agoAlas, not all Novas have front panels either. Cray supported a couple of different front ends; I dunno what the options were for the Cray-1, but in the mid-80s the PSC X/MP-48 was front-ended by a VAX cluster.
