I used to work on a computer every day that had a stainless steel hard drive as big as a car steering wheel, and NO monitor.

The output was on  a wide bodied dot matrix printer with holes on both sides, with paper on a continuous roll below the table.

In 1971 it cost $26,000, and was as big as a desk.
