Seems an odd request, definitely needs more detail, unless you know your 
computers they were pretty bland to most observers.

To me there are three enclosure styles: the original monolithic white box, the 
later black box with colour accents and the current generic POWER rack style - 
none jump out as particularly photogenic. They came in many different sizes 
too, perhaps the greatest range of enclosure sizes for any single family(at 
least for the OS/400 V3 era)?

They're really heavy too, heavy gauge steel was common. I see some of the 
black-with-colour-accent machines on eBay, be cheaper to buy one of those, or 
at least the plastic front skin.

Or they could just make a copy of an IBM logo and stick it onto a bar fridge or 
an air-conditioner.
