Seller bought them off a buddy and re-sold them. His buddy used them for Chia (XCH) mining. The buddy knew what he had, likely didn’t care about taking a loss offloading them to seller, seller didn’t know what he was holding onto.

This corroborated by the seller telling me (my buddy used those for bitcoin or some shit, idk), and all of the drives still having Chia plots on them since he didn’t bother to reformat them.

They were all pretty much brand new drives. About a year and a half of spin time but only 11tb written was the highest I saw. So they mostly all just sat. Completely clean SMART too.

I do love this style, and I appreciate the research into the area as this is definitely a common vibe. That being said, we are looking for something a bit more timeless. I think this would be a good direction to go otherwise if we had installed black windows instead of white, and planned on a polished concrete floor instead of wood.

I like the way you think! Yes, big heavy curtains for sure look to add some needed verticality. This is from Gemini where I asked it to also add a built-out structure for the fireplace, but I’m sure this could work without that too.
