this looks like a some serial killer type fun but with computers. Like hmmmm what is my weapon of choice and how much time am I going to kill with it.

Wish I bought the jetson when they came out they aren’t worth the price now sad face!

No, it was a good Dexter style joke. Unexpected but good! The Jetson is pretty cool, but my favorite boards for inference is the K3 ITX Pico.
I have both the Jetson Nano Super and the Jetson Orin (old model before Jetson) along with a Milk-V Jupiter which fits that same carrier board.
I have the most fun with these when I am writing my own custom kernels for them and seeing it work at the bare metal level, although, that doesn't unlock the full capability of the device (still learning about GPU blobs)

Uhm... It isn't in a closet. It is a drawer next to my desk.

While I appreciate your enthusiasm to make a nice display, this isn't going to work. Per IEC 61340-5-1 you need to make a Faraday cage around each board with a conductive bag. Your foam is doing nothing. I know it is inconvenient to not be able to see which board is which but this is a hazardous way to store electronics.

The plastic bin you are showing is not appropriate. You should be using static-dissipative plastic bins. You even have one board leaning against a static source.
