This is an IT website so i dont feel geeky asking .. "What kind of server was it? "...
My bet is on some kind of HP proliant since they are everywhere.... but it would be interesting if it was something more esoteric... like a Cobalt raq4.

It’s understood the artefact has been added to the Stockholm-based museum’s “Inspiration Imitation” display, which aims to to stimulate interest in finding out more about the area of intellectual propety rights." [sic]
Surely that should be "inspiration (L)Imitation" that's all copyright/IP rights and patents ever seem to accomplish.

use a machine that had been returned by plod?
without examining the hardware *very* closely to see what has been added...
not to mention the obvious requirement for new hard disks.
an auction or museum makes a good place for it

Yeah and bears shit in the woods but we knew that too.

Without meaning to appear (overly) rude, but isn't it a little rich seeing 'sic' appended to a description from a foreign museum given the often parlous state of proofreading apparent within El Reg's own pages, to which the English language is meant to be native.
Just a thought init..

to leave a note on the stand saying "a perfect copy of this server can be found at..."

Now all we need is for the museum to host an 'interactive' display and give the box power and an internet connection.

The authorities recently returned servers seized in January '08? I hope they paid for them - they've spent their useful lives in captivity at this point.

Could give me a bunch of Kroner's. One even used to run Win95.
Let me know.

...that the museum will be connecting it to the internet to continue its famed function?

Not a pirated copy of Windows by any chance...?

Those clever pirates, moving their servers one by one to the museum where nobody will think to check whether they're still tracking torrents.

Mirror mirror on the net, most the files r still around, I'd bet.
