What an amazing piece of history!
the beige CDROM drive on a black panelled case is peak turn-of-the-millennium PC. Not to mention the airflow holes that are practically an afterthought.
I thought the same thing. I remembering upgraded to a light-scribe drive which was cool. I thought it would take off more but USB keys killed it.

Now do Suprnova! Those early, end of Kazaa days were magic.
That’s really cool that someone thought to preserve this and put it on display in a museum. It’s like a modern historical artifact from the golden age of computing.
I wonder if it was donated by the founders, or recuperated from seized evidence maybe?
I would like to know that too.
