I flipped through Google Image Search to get an idea of what might have 
gone alongside this machine.  Absent the really sweet looking Dasher, I'd 
say anything that's sort of swoopy and curvy and of the times would be 
appropriate.

So seconded on the ADM (preferably in blue to match?) or Tek (nice 
Battlestar Galactica look there), though even an original DEC VT-50/52 or 
even a VT-100 have an appropriate shape.  The DEC -> DG historical element 
is a subtle burn too. :)
