No kidding! So cool! I bet you could sit in there in the dark, start drinking, and loose yourself in the sounds of all the harddrives and blinkin lights. We as a race have definitely come a long way technologically speaki but man... fun is fun and back then it was! I remember holding my brand new zoom v.32bis modem like a baby kitten when I received it in the mail.
I started the BBS on a 286 with a 2400 baud modem. I lived in a studio and turned the walk-in closet into a BBS nook. When I kept the closet door open, I could hear the PC fan, and it lulled me to sleep. The chattering of the hard drive would wake me up when the BBS tossed Fido mail during ZMH, and know I'd have echomail waiting for me when I woke up.
When the BBS got popular, I'd wake up to find people halfway around thr world reading messages on the BBS. Good times.
