The two hard drives I had in this beast were still there, but not screwed down or attached to what looks to be a roughly 200 ft long SCSI cable.
The drives are looking pretty filthy. Fortunately, I know why they are detached. Probably 25 or more years ago, I removed them, attached them to one of my Linux PCs with an Adaptec card and imaged the drives. I've had them bootable in emulators ever since. BlueSCSI will end up hosting those images soon.

I found the original 3000T mouse which looks as filthy and stinkbug-pooped-upon as the rest of the system. In the process, I also found four more mice of the era. Two of them are original Amiga mice. One of them is an early three button optical mouse I had that required this annoying shiny grid pad. One of the Amiga-style mice is, I do believe, a Commodore 64/128 model 1350 mouse... but I need to inspect it more closedly to confirm that.
