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.

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.
