#2 is either a micro-ATX or mini-ITX PC build on what I think is a custom-built open frame of 8020 aluminum extrusions and 3D printed parts. Nice job making the cable routing part of the display, and not just something to hide.
#3 “MONTY” is by far the most interesting build. Custom 3D printed body parts, including some kind of specialty terminal housing mounted on the top end of that power supply on the left side, a bunch of boards with what I assume are temperature displays, and several OLED screens nicely fitted into custom mounts with a really consistent look overall. It’s this custom homelab rack.
#4 An MSI mini-ITX this one I think PC build in an interesting portable case.
#5 is a PC build with a Gigabyte motherboard similar to this one (very distinctive heat sink design), but I’m not sure about the specific model. It’s on an open frame like this one. Very neat cable management.
#6 is another min-ITX build in a compact case. The laptop CD/DVD drive on the left side is clever.

#1 is this set of hardware from Ubiquiti along with an RPi 4 (DNS/PiHole maybe?), but you really have to wonder - if you’re going to have a PoE switch why not power the Pi with it and skip the USB power?

#7 is another mini-ITX build using this ASUS ROG Strix motherboard with an AIO cooler.
Remember kids, open frames look cool until they’re covered in dust and cat hair. Then they neither look cool nor run cool.
