The computer in Dr. Evil's hideout is made up from components of an IBM AN/FSQ-7 Combat Direction Central, built in 1954 to protect the U.S. from Soviet bomber attack. It was the largest and heaviest computer system ever built, the full system weighed six thousand tons (twelve million pounds, or 5,543,108 kilograms), and took up an entire floor of a bomb-proof blockhouse. Components of decommissioned systems were sold for scrap, and bought by film and television production companies who wanted futuristic looking computers, despite the fact they were built in the 1950s. The components used in this movie were previously used in Kronos (1966), L'inferno di cristallo (1974), Independence Day (1996), and A prova di errore (2000), amongst many other movies and television shows.
