DEC PDP-8

The first minicomputer. Not very "mini" by modern standards, but back in 1965, it was a revolution in compact computers. It operated on bytes of 12 bits in length, having been built before the 8-bit byte became standardized. It had 4096 bytes of memory, was clocked at 1MHz, and consumed 780W of power.
