You guys can not tell the top of the Dallas mystery rack has two
doors, side by side? They are not woodgrain, but blue - I have seen
Straight-8s like this, with no woodgrain. Maybe it is for another
piece of DEC gear, but the clues tell me Straight-8.

True, it is the proportions of the upper half to the lower half that
don't match. Also the lower part of the Straight-8 does not have doors
and the upper doors are attached to the computer, if the computer is
gone, I would expect that the doors would be gone too.

Looking at the rack, since a Straight-8 has huge
backplanes that fill
the top of the rack, there are no upper doors - I'm wondering if
that's an -8/S cabinet.
Hmm you are right, It can't be a PDP-8
