First Pirate Bay server on display at the Computer Museum in Linköping, Sweden, as part of the exhibit on 50 years of file sharing.

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 loved their old email responces to DMCA takedown requests (before US copyright law magically, retroactively, applied to Sweden).
