WOPR

War Operation Plan Response

A 1U tribute to cinema’s most iconic supercomputer.

Bring a piece of Cold War sci-fi history into your rack. The WOPR panel is a meticulously crafted 1U rack-mount display that recreates the unforgettable blinkenlights of Joshua, the strategic AI from WarGames (1983). 256 red and 256 amber LED matrices pulse, scroll, and cycle through the same hypnotic patterns audiences first saw in NORAD’s fictional war room — now running quietly in your home lab.

Features

• Authentic 1U form factor — Standard 19″ rack mount fits any server cabinet, network closet, or home-lab rack alongside your switches, NAS, and servers.
• High-density LED matrix display — Multiple grouped panels of red and yellow LEDs reproduce the film-accurate “war games” animation, including the distinctive segmented column groupings.
• Screen-accurate branding — Silk screened “WOPR / WAR OPERATION PLAN RESPONSE” badge in the original typeface on a matte black fiberglass faceplate.
• Realistic patterns — Cycle through the classic WarGames sequences and idle ambient modes,
• Plug-and-play — Powered by a single 5V@2A included power adapter; no host computer required.

Perfect for

• Home-lab and homelab-rack enthusiasts
• Sci-fi collectors and WarGames fans
• Office showpieces, studio sets, and YouTube/streaming backdrops
• Anyone who’s ever wanted to ask, “Shall we play a game?”

In the rack

Designed to live happily between your managed switch and your storage server. Whether your stack runs Proxmox, TrueNAS, or pfSense, the WOPR adds a layer of theatrical menace that no amount of RGB ever could.

“The only winning move is not to play.”
Unless the game is owning the coolest rack on the internet.
