I am not entirely sure if this should go in Marvin or Milliways.. or perhaps System Specs? If this should be moved, I respectfully request that a moderator move it to the appropriate location.
But, I figured I would stick all of my purchases, experiments, musings, and builds in one place. This is going to be sort of a "blog" of my retrocomputing and retrogaming, as I have things I want to share that do not really deserve their own thread, or fit within the other big threads that I have been participating in.
I worked at a computer repair store back in the mid 90s right around the time that the AMD Athlon and Pentium II came out. It was a great time in computing, and now that I am older, I want to sort of relive that era. Unfortunately, with my several housing changes between then and now.. a large portion of my parts and computers have been lost, damaged, or even just thrown away. I used to have a decked out 486 66Mhz Packard Bell that I just simply left at one of my old apartments.. (boy do I regret that one)
I have been spending a lot of time (and money) recently re-acquiring all of the parts that I used to have, as well as other parts that I always wanted but couldn't afford. I have amassed a fairly sizable collection in the last few months that I have been in the process of testing and inventorying. I will be posting the "good bits" here once I am done.
I have a kid and spouse-free day this weekend, so I fully intend on getting my computer gear inventoried and organized, and at least start on testing them. Once I do that, I will be updating this thread.
