For now, see Kenbak-1 on Wikipedia and the plethora of available files.

The Wikipedia picture is quite badly blurred, taken from a bad angle, shadowed, 2011 vintage. However, it is The Computer History Museum's KENBAK-1 which has special significance in being the contest winner. In 2011, it did not have the aluminum siding (they now have replica siding on theirs), so the picture is definitely out of date and needs to be replaced.
