Got this macintosh Color Classic today. Seller said the condition is unknown. Usually when I see that said, I assume the seller knows it's broken. So I sent him a real low offer, and to my surprise he accepted. This time it was nice exception, it booted right up. Seems quite dirty, but everything is …

I bought this 1999 Power Mac G4 Yikes few days ago. It was very dirty and sold as not working. All it needed was good cleanup, new battery and new hard drive :) I completely disassembled it and gave all the parts blast of compressed air and a good wash. Then I polished out all the small scratches in …

I drew a new label for my model M keyboard. The original was a bit rough, so I thought it will look better with new one. I still need to visit paper shop to buy some white printable sticker paper. I only had transparents at hand. I know the font is not perfect, but close enough in my books :) label. …

Update to the collection. Replaced that anemic ThinkCentre with an Intellistation M Pro :happy: Broke my own promise not to buy any "new" retro computers and only keep what I have originally bought new, but for 20 euros this was too good to pass. On the other hand, I'm not sure if P4 counts as retro …

I bought a brand new in box Hyundai V995 19" CRT earlier this year. One small finnish PC shop still has them in stock, and their prices are not bad 😀 Probably not helpful for anyone on this forum though. It's not a trinitron, but still quite decent. It can do up to 1600x1200@75Hz. Filename crt.png …

I'm on a shopping spree today :lol: Got this Digigram VX222 sound card for 2,5€. If it's not very good, it's not a big loss. I think I'm going to use this on my new Intellistation. Too bad it didn't come with the breakout cables, it only has 3,5mm audio out on board. It is some kind of professional …

Broke my own principle, and bought two computers. Until so far, I had limited my collection to what I have actually bought new back in the day, just buying upgrades for them. IBM IntelliStation M Pro 6219-38G. Pentium 4 2.66GHz, 1GB ECC DDR RAM, Adaptec AIC-7901 Ultra320 SCSI controller. Very tidy …

New keyboard, after good cleaning. This keycap material is amazing. After cleaning they look almost like brand new. Coiled cable is a bit tired, other than that and couple of scratches this looks very good. IMGP1567_.jpg Also, I had a chance to test the Pioneer DRM-600 6-CD changer I mentioned …

I got myself a CD-ROM drive too :happy: Pioneer DRM-600. I guess it is from the early 90's. I plan to connect it to my IBM PS/2 P70, but cannot test it yet, because I don't have a suitable cable (IBM and their stupid micro centronics connector...). It suffered a bit during transit. Laser lens had …

They are terrible mice though in use and construction. The MS mice were much better quality. I don't even care :happy: It's more about the looks. If I wanted a good mouse, I would just plug in some Intellimouse Optical instead of these crappy ball mice. But then it wouldn't look nice with these …

"New" mouse. Color matches better with the rest of the system than the previous bright white Intellimouse 1.3A. Overall in great condition, but it is missing one of the feet. Filename IMGP1474_.jpg File size 594.35 KiB Views 1360 views

Nice collection you have there. 8) Thanks! I'd go with XP, but it depends on what you want to do with it. Yes, it's Hebrew on the keyboard. The L201p is quite a nice monitor, and not as common as its predecessor L200p with the thick bezel. I've become a bit allergic to XP, because of my employer's …
