What the hell is a "boxen"? Is it a plural, like a boxen of donuts? Plural, precisely. Box as in "computer system".
I first heard the usage back in the 80's, referring to multiple DEC VAX-11 machines as "VAXen", and boxes of other flavors as "boxen".

(Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is...sounding pretty good about now.)
