Fun to read how others are store and display their computers 😀

Heres a couple pictures what my attic currently looks like.
It looks a bit messy hehe 😜

And sorry about the big pics, dunno how I can make them smaller and clickable 😦

My friends tell me I should start my own computer store 🤣 😜
Anyway, my attic is where I store and build most of my computers. I have a couple more computers in my bedroom and in the livingroom (for LAN parties 😀 )

My PC/Amiga corner

Not shown here are my shelves full of games.
My Mac "area" is in the living room

You'll notice my Steel Series mouse pad is too latge...when I ordered it I must have been drunk 😜

wow nice pics, i want the attic full of parts. and how pics of the self full of games and the mac area?

Woot for beer. Oh I have a similarly sized mouse pad and part of my keyboard is on it too, lawl.

Fun looking corner Amigaz.

@Amigaz

What's that little breakout-box-looking-doodad behind the joystick, next to the A1200?

It's Pyramid Amiga Sound Enhancer which is a clone of this

Here's what it looks like

enhancer not amplifier?

Here's my setup and game box library (lost a few in my journey through life).

How about some updates. got a 720p i hit my windows key plus p and switch over to my tv and use an xbox 360 controller to play some games. i wonder how it might handle dos games maybe using xpadder for the controller ad key emulation.

A pic of my attic after dark

Enjoy! 😁

This my Tandy 286 gaming machine, now complete with its latest upgrade: 4MB of Expanded Memory.

I really need to take a pic of my new "man-cave" with my wife's camera :p

Yeah, I finally got my pic uploaded -- of my Tandy game machine (second post above ^). I was using Picasa to upload my pic, and for some reason I only linked to a thumbnail the first time. Anyway, as my sig states, this is one of four different rigs I use for my "vintage" PC gaming. I have never used DOSbox. And someday...someday...I will add an Amiga setup to my gaming horde!

PS: I also am cursed with my habit of collecting old videogames and systems -- not just vintage PC stuff!

Yeah. I have a TRS-80 Color Computer 3 with 3 joysticks (just like the one you have next to your Tandy 😁), a disk drive, and a tape drive. The disk drive barely works correctly anymore and I've never gotten the tape drive to work (I acquired it from somebody else, the disk drive I've always owned).

So fun to play those old titles, though. I have a boxed copy of King's Quest III for the CoCo3 but I can't play it because it requires 512K of RAM which I don't have 🙁.

Yeah, we're missing an Amiga in your picture so I can 100% accept it as a "vintage computer area" yet 😁

Ooh, sweet, another Tandy fan... 😀

Kool setup! Is that a Zip drive you're using (to the left of the floppy)? I really like how the RLX's are so QUIET -- no fans!

Some day, I'd like to get a 1.44mb floppy into my TL/2...but of course, the Tandy controller won't support it (unlike with the RLX series, which does support 1.44 drives).

It's a SCSI card reader, in which two (1GB) CompactFlash cards are being used as hard-drives.
