I wish all computers looked like the Fallout PipBoy. Green. No mouse. Makes buzzy grindy noises.

ALIEN got it right. I love watching the playthrough of Alien: Isolation for the 80's tech in space.

PC's from the 80s made a lot of neat sounds. Early hard drives used to made a sort of little squeak-squeak sound as their heads moved around. Floppies were always nice and noisy, of course.
The funny thing is, in lots of tv shows, when they're in a computer lab or a server room, they dub in the sounds of the old hard drives as ambient sounds, which I always get a kick out of. It's a very subtle sound, but I can hear it instantly any time they use it.

I remember those 5.25" floppies making noises!

They used to make those sounds. You are just too young to remember. Trust me. It was annoying.
