I had to laugh when I saw this. Clearly an older computer with only PCI & PCI-X slots and what looks to be dual Xeons around 2002-2004 (Could be Dual FC-PGA or Tualatins!). I can't identify the motherboard, but we're to believe this system ran really high-tech stuff on the monitors and it was used by Chloe who is a computer hacker/tech in the series. 🤣

Looks like a Tyan to me.

This one, maybe?

Most certainly a dual 604 board with ddr as not dual s370 board that I am aware of used a nb cooler with a spring clip. Most likely an oem board.

Exactly, what I thought as I have an S2720-533 in service, but the bus configuration looks slightly different.
