Default WCIF old computers and other complicated-looking machinery
I want to fill my scientist sim's "research room" with all sorts of technology. I'm thinking of early 20th century computers, mainframes, or something you'd find in a power station control room. Bulky, with lots of dials, controls, and lights. Unfortunately, I haven't found anything that looks even remotely like it.
If you could point me to something similar, I would greatly appreciate it!

Early 20th century computers? Good luck with that...most of the late 20th century's probably a stretch already.

I don't think I know of anything that's quite that early but there's two options, you could check out some of the steampunk type cc sets as some of them would probably have difference engines or other such complicated looking machinery that could be recolored to maybe suit what you're looking for. The other option is that I could swear I saw a NASA control center themed set some time ago, and if I'm not mistaken it has some bulky looking 60s style computers or mainframes. I'm trying to see if I can find that now, haha.

edit: Okay so here's a few links I found. I haven't downloaded any of these yet but they might be along the lines of what you're looking for. The CC finds blog these are linked from is a good resource for finding this kind of thing.

scifi lab. not what i was looking for but really cool anyway: http://scifits3ccblog.tumblr.com/po...s3-scifi-lab-by

Some nice links there. Thanks!
You could also use the ST Future boombox and transmogrify it to have only a deco function.
