Hey
you know that feeling/situation, when you are absolutely flooded with PC hardware and absolutely can't decide which PCs have to go to the basement/attic/whatever?
I have no space in my apartment for any more PCs but still there are lying around mainboards begging to be built into some case (which I don't have space for). I'm talking about beautiful Asus Slot 1 boards for a nice Katmai build, powered by Voodoo 2 SLI or something like that. Also, there is a Tyan Dual Socket 8 board somewhere. Tyan SS7 too.
Other systems which are already built (and taking up space) are like Dual S370 P3 with Voodoo 5 AGP, AMD K6-3+ on Asus P5A, 386 DX40 on Asus ISA 386 (one of the first mass production boards they've ever made), Athlon XP 3200+ Barton on A7N8X and so on. Not really systems I could decide to get rid of or put them to the basement (where already a IBM PS/2 Model 90 or 95 sits which would be cool to have up here too).
In fact hovewer, I didn't have time for my retro computing hobby at all in the past few months so all the PCs could have stayed in the basement all the time but on the other side, if I put them there, I forget about them sooner or later and won't get them up here anytime soon.
What's the conclusion? I need a bigger apartment. Right? 🤣
