CM5s are very nice up close, but the most amazing looking modern
machine has to be the CM2A. It's kinda small, but it's so James
Bond it's rediculous. (Not to be confused with the CM2, which is
a better machine, but not as insane looking.)

Of course the coolest looking machines of all are from the 50s
and 60s, when computers had real front panels.
