DEC PDP-8, 1965.
It was the world’s first mass-produced minicomputer. At $18,500, it cost less than any system Digital had built before it. It sold about 50,000 units (300,000 with all variants), a record broken only by the PDP-11 later. In its basic configuration it had 4K 12-bit words memory, of which the FOCAL interpreter took up three, leaving only 1K (the functional equivalent of 2kB, since one word could hold two characters) for programs. The Lunar Lander simulation, for a while the most popular computer game, was written on such a machine.

The PDP-12, a beautiful 1960s computer owned by the Update Computer Club in Uppsala, Sweden
Holy 60’s computer, this is glorious!
The 1960s and 70s PDP’s were some of the most aesthetically-beautiful computers, IMO.

DEC PDP-11/20, 1970.
The first officially named version of Unix ran on this machine. Note that the common way to access the computer is still a teletype, not a CTR terminal.
