Seller said it powered on and started up for a minute, then downpowered and wouldn't turn back on. I'll take on the challenge. Hopefully it is just the power supply. https://imgur.com/2lMJ7Nz.jpg Or the Varta Ni-Leakium battery. Those are notorious. True, hopefully not. If that's the case, I'll …

Got some blue arrow keys (Desk Candy) for my Siig MiniTouch and put them on. Looks pretty neat. There's so many odd size Alps keys on this board, I'll never come across a full set of keycaps for this unless I have them custom made by Signature Plastics, so this will do for now. https://imgur.com/ …

Unfortunately I didn't know about it during development, but I purchased it and loaded it up on my turbo XT not too long ago. It plays great, looks awesome and sounds awesome. Quick intro video in VGA mode. I still need to hook up my CGA/EGA CRT when I get some time. https://youtu.be/ce0eHgUOydI

Fixed my Amiga mouse with new IR emitters and photo sensors. It is an early rev Amiga mouse that doesn't fit the optical tank mouse upgrade kit. I've included the Digikey part numbers for those interested in getting their mouse working again. Took about 20 minutes to replace the 8 components. 2 …

Got my Asus 6800GT today and installed it in the FragBox, works great and the blue LEDs match. 😁 I was going to put my 5950 Ultra in there, but the cooler stuck out too far.

Back in the 90's I had a copy of Stadium Events for NES and the running pad.. my cousin won it at at Nintendo tournament in Orlando and later gave it to me. I ended up selling it, along with all my other NES gear to a local flea market buyer for next to nothing in order to buy a N64 when it came out …

Got these "black crystal pudding keycaps" from Ebay from some random chinese seller.. figured they would be garbage for $20. Well, they look pretty epic on my Ducky One TKL RGB keyboard. haha. They are pretty much just a cherry profile keycap, doubleshot with one layer being black with the letter …

Haven't seen this specific camera, but do a port scan on it to see what ports they left open. Usually they leave SSH (22) or telnet (23) open to remote manage/control it. If there's a password, you can usually use double blind injection attacks to leak it from the device. They don't secure these …

AliExpress. They have Pepsi and Coca-Cola. Quality is pretty good for the price. They aren't GMK or Signature Plastics quality, but there are very few flaws and they feel great.

Snagged a new in box PS/2 Siig Minitouch (Alps clone switches) for $60 on eBay. I guess this makes up for selling my other one, which had the Monterrey blue's. Maybe I'll swap out the switches with some better Alps-compatible ones at some point, since this one likely has the Ivory + Yellow Hua-Jie …
