The Connection Machine series (which was featured in Jurassic Park) have the most beautiful LED panels.

Reposting some links from a recent Jurassic Park thread -

The LED panel is gorgeous:

Worked on the CM-1 and CM2. I felt they were awful buggy. At one point they asked if they could use my code to run as a diagnostic, it would break the log() function on occasion.

The Cray fluorinert fountains were way cooler :)
