that's some nice stuff :3 I bought one of my dream computers today... finally after years, will have to wait a bit for it to show up though probably and I hope it won't need too many repairs, if any, cause parts ain't easy to come by on this part of the globe ^^

They made 21" trinitron versions of the translucent colored mac range? That's so cool. sure seems like they did ^^ unfortunately there's not much to see inside like in the later flat CRT models, because the whole tube and electronics are covered in a metal shell inside. still looks very neat... …

my interest in new devices that have an artificial limited supply is rather low. I'd rather just get a DE-10 nano instead.

Having at least one Mac in the collection can't hurt right? ...especially if that means getting a 21" Trinitron CRT with it :3c what a massive hunk of 35kg, it's heavier than my 22" Mitsubishi by quite a bit. Filename hardware39_67.jpg File size 241.2 KiB Views 411 views

really old ICs from the 70s and 80s sometimes just degrade and fail, there's a lot of projects out there to replace some of the less attainable ones already, so I think old hardware will be kept alive for a long time still... even though not all of it might be "original" sometimes silicon is said to …

if it has a gameport connector (which I mean... most cards of this era should have), then yes. on ISA short side is usually down, on PCI short side is usually up. edit: heh, that picture is very inconclusive. sits exactly at a spot where it could easily be either ISA or PCI, as the third slot from …

got this little hunk of plastic today :3 it had been modded on the left side so there's a hole there, but that's way easier to fix than the other case I found for a reasonable price, that had the whole floppy section cut out ^^ Filename hardware39_65.jpg File size 148.62 KiB Views 537 views …

well... don't ask me how the plastic didn't shatter. I unscrewed the frame and snapped it back together, but I can hear loose parts inside will have to take a deeper look :c ...would have been in really good condition too. Filename welp.jpg File size 118.04 KiB Views 91 views

when you expect a package with a nice computer and CRT inside, and you hear the postman coming, so you go down and look out the window, and sure enough :3 you get rushed with excitment, as you watch them rolling the package off the bed, dropping it onto the road while a few other packages come …

I have found listings like that before... but all the ones I found have also been found by others apparently and either ended up too expensive or were snatched up before I had the chance :p
