Each one of these costs more than the building itself

Look, if we don’t make the boxes beige, people will want to play with them, and that could lead to fun and/or death.

Ah, but this one goes BEEP.

Don't forget beige box that shakes the thing.

Have you thought about maybe adding windows and RGB lighting to them?

I've done time in biotech and in applied physics, and damn the gear over in the APh labs is cool as fuck.

I want an optics table for mini gaming.

I want a device that cools itself to -76F, evacuates itself to intergalactic pressures, then heats up a coil hot enough to vaporize gold for...

Well, I'll find a use for it anyway.

That's how we in IT treat those. Now please budget to replace them when its software only uses an EOL operating system. We don't like windows xp running something 'critical' to the business.

Anyone know what all of these are?

Your mom's beige box is where the magic happens!

Oh my god they made Industrialcraft real!

When I first started in the gc area of my previous lab I was in charge of training the interns in the other areas of the lab, but I'd give an impromptu tour of the gc/gcms/gcmsms area of the lab, I'd explain the gc as "the magical science gnomes work in this box, we bring a technician in here once a year to make sure they're fed and given fresh water", and had no idea how to explain an ms let alone an msms/triplequadrapole. By the end I could hand wave away the gc (along with do the yearly maintenance), I do a pretty good job at explaining the ms without relying too much on the term "magic" (but it totally is) and the msms? That shit is so close to magical that I think it always will be explained with some use of "magic". I understand the theory behind it, but how the hell does it do what it does??

White, Blue and Black Machine soon for people that do Coagulation

Getting real close to turning science in rituals.
