To answer the questions: Yes I think mine is slightly newer than his but same case and power plug, probably the same PSU. I found that all Cybernet computer use the same four pin plug so it should work with any of them as long as they are positive on the top two pins (I think, I'm not sure cause …

Impossible to verify with the PSU not working and the computer basically does not exist.

Hi guys! I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions where I might either be able to send this teensy PSU off to be fixed or maybe where I can get something that might replace it nicely. It's in a Cybernet computer and without the computer part plugged in I plug in the PSU and the power adapter …

Scored a bunch of junk from the trash yesterday. Just got done cleaning it all. Both computers are 486 machines but I might make the tower a Pentium because I like the way it looks and I have no use for a 486. The desktop however is very interesting and much more complete, although it lacks a HDD ( …

Here's a few Instax shots I took Wednesday night at about 12am during some light rain. I still got soaked but it was a good first test of my new Lomo'Instant Wide. lol https://i.imgur.com/5XqBH1s.jpg Most proud of this one, I can't believe how well it turned out! https://i.imgur.com/nkh30K1.jpg …

Tbh since this is milliways I was just looking for anything not even vintage (although I'm definitely into vintage stuff, especially instant film at the moment.) That's super cool! Also yeah I'm big into the soviet era stuff as well, I wish there were some instant cameras from the eastern block but …

I currently have a Pentax K-30 as my main camera but want to get the K-1 Mk II, which is a full frame. I just don't have a lot of time for photography. When we were moving offices where I used to work, I found one of those old Sony Mavica with floppy drive and brought it home. Still work fine and …

Just thought I'd ask cause that's been kinda my bug for a while. I used to shoot Polaroid 600 Instant Film when I could buy it when I was younger and now I'm into Instax film (I own an Instax Mini 8, Instax Wide 210, Lomo'Instant Automat Glass, and I've just ordered a Lomo'Instant Wide) but I've …

So I guess I was overthinking getting back into the hobby also, cause this was definitely exciting to drag home.

Ignore the walls, this room is a WIP. lol Gonna take care of that as soon as it gets a bit warmer and I don't have to risk getting the drywall wet with snow.

Not to throw this thread off topic, but as a semi related note to the whole "Retro computing leads to other hobbies" thing: I allways felt like there was a bit of a disconnect between retro computer gamers/collectors and the *average* retro gaming crowed. Idk if it's all the work that goes into …

Yeah that's my point though, I kinda realized my Packard Bell machine from 1997 will do everything I want so I'm like... well... what in the world is even left to discover about this hobby? 🤣

Right now I'm in an odd position, I'm kinda interested in starting collecting again but I can't seem to find anything I'm really excited about collecting. Mostly because I've owned an Amiga, I've owned tones of 80's PCs, I've owned tons of 90's PCs, I've owned an Atari ST, I've owned a Sun computer, …

Aww thank you I really appreciate that, I wanted to rebrand and make it more retro tbh. I've come up with an easier to spell name and a much nicer logo, the content will remain largely the same but done a bit more professionally (better lighting and camera). It will be the same channel though I'm …

Hello all, some of you might remember me from a few years ago. I used to make videos on YouTube under the name Transcendental Airwaves, and I had a massive hoard of Packard Bell computers. I got out of the hobby but as of late I've been feeling a bit of the 90's nostalgia again, I recently got a …

In response to the EV convo going on did anyone see the GM crate motor replacement they came out with? It's literally an electric motor designed to bolt right in where a regular V8 would go. Honestly if they did that with the V6 motors for 90's front wheel cars I'd honestly be onboard with that if …
