Looks great. However I think that a little "material separation" would be a good addition.
I would add an overall texture (maybe to the bump or roughness) to make plastic a bit less perfect. I think also it's a good idea to reduce brightness of the screens and desat. them a bit. Maybe some AO from them would also be quite cool. A little more decals would give more "out of lab" look. I would "paint" serial number on the side, or model reference, or project name or what ever, just to identify and show that maybe this is one of 10 samples. I think it will add that "man made" look and feel.
That's my 50c

Thanks Nasok!
Great suggestions, I think I will use a version number as a decal!
I'm not sure what type of texture to use on the body to get that uneven look, I might check the MXM Gallery for that.
Any suggestions on that are more than welcome by the way
By the way.. I love your work Nasok!
Here is one more I did yesterday, more realistic panel lighting, and a few reference photos:

Hey Nico, your models are really great as always, I just think the lighting and grey floor is kind of boring. Have a look at marketing material for hospital equipment like MRI scanners etc. to get some inspiration on how to give these renders some oomph. Like:

Ah yes indeed Mihai, I'll make some like that as well.
Thanks!
