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!
