Exposed some of my classic computers at a cosplay event - Game-Film-Expo in Sokolniki Park, Moscow. Sokolniki Expo was built for the famous 1957 American Exhebition in Sokolniki, where also Pepsi was first tasted by the Sovite people))

took some PC's to the exhebition - 286-20,286-16, IBM PS/2 40SX, Digital Starion (P1-75), P-II-400 Dell and some laptops - 1987 Toshiba - a 286 with orange glowing screen and some more laptops from 486 to P1 from which a 486 Compaq ELT ELITE40e was very popular - as DooM on a Grayscale screen seemed cool to people, who remember playing it 20+ years ago... And also some macs - 1989' IIci, 1990' IIsi, 1993' LC475 in a case from LC-III and a mid 1990s 7600/120 PowerPC)

Here are some pictures)

Looks like a great event!
These oldschool looking displays seems to catch always quite some attention especially with younger people that grew up with LCDs. Though, when I was at Gamescom I didn't had so much time to visit cosplay village since there were always crowds of people and a few didn't handled the old stuff with respect at our booth.
