What someone needs to design, is a PDP-8 that fits entirely inside of
a front panel (modern re-creation, not an original one), fully functional
including switches, emulated disks, etc.. Nail that to your wall, with a
flat-panel VT emulator nailed next to it. Then wait for someone to ask
about it. Make up stories about embeding it into your wall so people
can't steal it, you could only afford this much of it, it got crushed,
etc...
