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
Ok now that makes sense
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.
