A fake Windows 95 "It is now safe to turn off your computer" image, but it says "It is now safe to awoo at your computer" instead.

Anyway, here is a picture of the poor thing in its natural habitat.
A MikroTik hAP AC2 laying on its side. It is a black rectangle shaped router / access point combo. On its front is five port indicator LEDs, with a legend like you would find on a die. From left to right, they are 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1. Port 2 is active, though the LED is not lit in this photo.

MikroTik only providing 16MB of flash storage on older routers / APs really causes problems with modern day RouterOS. This is going to brick itself as soon as We attempt an in-place upgrade.
WinBox screenshot showing a hAP AC2's filesystem status. 15.7 mebibytes of 16 mebibytes is used, with 1% free.

Wiring a new doorbell is going to be interesting. A lot of drilling is to be involved, this is just the transformer and circuit breaker
A small 3-module DIN rail enclosure with a Schneider Electric Easy9 3A MCB on the left, consuming one of three slots. On the right is a British General CUB1 bell transformer, occupying the last two slots. It has four voltages printed on the front - 0, 8, 12 and 24, indicating it can output different voltages depending on the terminal used.

We love it when UPS beats up boxes. Not. Whoever had this delivered a swift kick to this box which contained a monitor - the damage was sustained on the side where the LCD was facing, which had no additional padding.

Somehow, the monitor works flawlessly.
A zoomed in standard brownish cardboard box, with the Dell logo in black in the middle. There is an upside-down T-shaped rip in the box which goes right through the Dell logo. There are some scuff marks near the bottom left of the frame presumably from it being stored in a warehouse.

Rack
An open frame AV rack sold by 'Tec Mojo'. It's 12 rack units and the upper half is cut off. In the second U, a UK style PDU is installed with sockets two and three in use. In the fourth U, a HP V1910-48G 48-port gigabit Ethernet switch is installed. In the fifth U, a Netgear GS108LP power over Ethernet switch is mounted. It only has 8 ports.
