Introduction
So, a lot of people have been asking me how to find the server room in Big Oil Day 2 while the shutters are down. I haven't found ANY guides online, so I'll just make my own. This is composed mostly of screenshots and a bit of commentary.

You've probably heard people say "you can look under the shutters". But how does this work? Here goes...
Front
These screenshots are for the front part of the house (Side with the cars). This part is pretty easy, simply stand on the hedge and look under the shutters.

With Server Room


Without Server Room


If the server room is in the front, you can see the servers in the back. Or the little black thing, call it what you want.
Back
The back (side with the pool) is more tricky to determine, in my opinion. Walk directly up to the house and stand directly under the possible server room. You can see just barely into the room.

With Server (Standing)


Without Server (Standing)


Now, I've heard some people say there's a "table" that you can see if they server is there....but I really don't see any difference. However, there's a huge difference if you jump and continue to look up, under the shutters.

With Server (Jumping)


Without Server (Jumping)


If there's no server, you can see a vague, box-like shape (some of the folders with files that appear in rooms without servers) in about the middle of the room.
Conclusion
And there you have it. Pretty simple, right? You can't look inside the server room on the ground floor, but process of elimination will determine if that one is the server room.

And you can always simply look through the windows if the shutters are open, or use shutter codes to open them. ;)

Anyway, thank you for reading, feedback is appreciated!

You're going about the back room wrong. If you look at the wall opposite from the PC, you can see a very distinctive green rack(that has a bunch of servers on it, but you'll only see the green rack) if the PC is in there. If not, all you see is black filing cabinets. Hope this helps.

@Aly I agree, this isn't a bug, this is a part of the design, extending those models so you can not see into the rooms would be a mediocre task of probably 10 minutes at most. This is designed this way. Good guide, shame it isn't easy to denote at a distance but better than randomly guessing. Appreciated, thank you.
