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.
Wow 20 years. I feel old.
Any exclusive offers for the anniversary? /s
100% off of everything!
Pirate bay still in operation?
Yeah.
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 loved their old email responces to DMCA takedown requests (before US copyright law magically, retroactively, applied to Sweden).
Who created piratebay?
I wonder if it was donated by the founders, or recuperated from seized evidence maybe?
I would like to know that too.
What an amazing piece of history!
Now do Suprnova! Those early, end of Kazaa days were magic.
Reminds me of my first PC
