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.

The Pirate Bay itself is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, so this is a very fitting exhibit.

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?
