What a silly question.

Blinking lights.  Lots and lots of blinking lights.   well, if one
buys a massively parallel supercomputer, one gets blinking lights.
From what I've seen of the C90, it doesn't have nearly enough lights.
At least it looks like a ST:TNG prop, I guess that's better than
nothing...
