Wow, there's a lot going on in this image. The tubes really brought back
some old memories for me, running down to the store to test TV tubes. This
is one of the few images this round that brought out a strong nostagic
feeling for an old technology.

Some of the colors seem a bit strong, and the lighting is washed out a bit,
leaving some of the objects floating. But there's also many very good bits
of lighting and shading that look photorealistic. The tubes are excellent,
and the use of photons for the reflected/refracted light looks great. I
would have liked to read some technical descriptions of the methods used
for lighting, texturing, etc., in the description text.

The lighting seems unusually bright. After so many "too dark" images, it's
nice to see the brilliant colors, but some of the lighter objects seem to
glow a bit more than natural.
