I'll start things off with this effects shot from Star Trek IV.

And for the newest show...

That is from Season 2, but it doesn't say which episode and I am bad at this stuff.

They needed something that was just going to put a fake computer display on the screen and they went with Mac's? That's not... Exactly a cost-efficient way of handling that. Then again maybe they had some kind of weird corporate thing going on?

The G4 cube is fanless, so no noise, that could absolutely be part of it

my guess would be it was the smallest/fastest mac they could get and the scenic design team used macs almost exclusively and probably had no interest taking a chance on a different platform. Just a hunch tho.
