Can anyone identify the PC clone seen in this video? You never get a really good image of it, it’s typically only one side. It looks like it has a CD player at the top?
And the printers? One of them looks like a circa 1990 DeskJet, but I’m not really familiar with that line.
The video claims to be from 1997, but everything seems to be anachronistic.

For further reference, here’s a still (aspect):
(To me, this tower looks to be quite well specced, with tape backup drives, etc. May be some kind of a workstation, as well. The extra base, in which the machine sockets into, is at least pretty workstation-like. – If this isn’t custom built, there appears to be a row of lights on the upper right edge of the tower case, which should be rather significant.)
Generic, no brand, case that someone stuffed full of tech.
I did that back in the early 1990’s.
I think it’s a thing like a necktie that’s dangling over the machine, see at 23m49
But the great thing about this machine appearing in a video is that the many still frames are slightly mis-registered and one could compose them into a super-resolution still. If one had the tooling and motivation!
Very near the end:
I agree. This looks like an early 90s mid tower that’s been upgraded forward, if it’s 1997. I concur that it looks like it has two CD media drives, although it’s not clear to me what the drive in between is. In the very last photo that @EdS posted, it looks like it’s a 3.5" super floppy of some kind (perhaps Iomega or SyQuest) inserted into a 5.25" drive bay adapter.
The reason I suspect it’s an older case is that the front panel looks like the kind that has a MHz indicator and a turbo light; those fell out of favor by the late 90s, since a) nobody used PC-compatibility mode any more, and b) MHz clock speed was starting to become something manufacturers didn’t want to compare directly.
What about a Iomega ZIP or JAZ drive?
The video isn’t that high resolution, so it’s quite hard to tell objectively, but the case looks quite plastic-y to me. @rlauzon may be right about a “fanzy” 3rd-party case and a custom build.
Also, great that I was fooled by a dangling shiny thing. I may be mutating (evolving?) into a cat… 
Oh yes, that makes it much easier to see.
It was the LED readout on the front that made me think it was older. I don’t remember those since the 486 era, long before this time.
Any ideas on the printers? That’s assuming the one on the left is a printer.
