    I’m guessing the plywood box with its three optical drives was their Linux home server/netflix ripper and is probably feeding that console output on the top monitor.

    I definitely did not spend a bunch of time at a house full of engineers circa 2001 that had a similar setup…

      I only think the top drive is optical. The two below it look like removable HDDs. Too pixelized to be certain.

        Very fair, but that wouldn’t make me significantly less confident in my guess, LOL. 700MB DVD rips fill up a turn of the century hard drive pretty quick. :-)
