Modern recognizable computer connections ok or not on props ?

[joboujp]

Hello,
I came across several of those electronic boards. I'm going to paint them in black and use them as part of wall panels for my speeder mechanic shop display.
Should I try to remove all recognizable modern computer connections on the side such as the rs-232 like connections or is it ok to leave them on the boards ?

Sci fi movies use all different kinds of real world parts to build up their own worlds so it's really up to your eye for what seems right. I'll say that those connectors make for some cool tubing or piping if you plug in some cables.
