I love this computer, pleased to have the opportunity to show it off.

Unisys CWD4001
AMD X5 133 @ 160Mhz
64mb of RAM
Sandisk Extreme IV 4gb CF
SoundBlaster AWE64 Value

[...]

Ooh, I like that a lot. Looks great stacked with the MT32 too. 😁 Is there enough room to stuff a SIMMConn on the AWE64 with it installed?

Unisys made a line of public school PCs where I grew up, they were slow as all get-out and not really well respected back then. I didn't know they made anything else until recently. Some of their x86 offerings look really neat; I'd definitely like to get my hands on one like that.

Does anyone have one of these? I don't, but it's been on my wish list for years:

That's an HP e-Vectra. My elementary school had one, and I've always regretted not rescuing it. It probably would have made a decent Windows 98 machine. It should support up to a Pentium III 1Ghz and 512MB of PC133 RAM.

They do turn up from time to time on eBay, but I've been holding out for a better deal.

Yeah those things! They were actually pretty advanced for the time - graphical networked UNIX terminals with storage handled by a central fileserver - but they were too slow and gimped by committee design to be any good for anything. I distinctly remember gritting my teeth through multi-minute load times and wondering how the C64 I had at home was faster reading from floppy. I didn't realize they were the genesis of QNX. I wonder if anyone still has a functioning network of the things with the server set up?

Edit: th

Some specs & info.

Some nice tiny systems you have here.

Here's my "band":

Compact cube file server,Via based thin client,Lenovo Thinkpad X200 and most cool toy - Asus R2H.

Most strange thing here is R2H - its Celeron M based UMPC.
Cpu is 900mhz M353 but it has no l2 cache.
Base ram expanded up to 2gb,installed Windows XP Professional SP3 that converted onto Tablet PC Edition.
An 7' screen,classic games runs pretty smooth and umpc itself laying in hands just as poured.

*awe32 for size comparison*

^^ That's neat, almost like a Wii-U for x86 games. Even has a d-pad and analog stick (arrow keys & pointer?)

Here is my smallest parts.

The one below is the home made HTPC with the below specifications:

- Frisby FC-S6035B case with 300W PSU and integrated SD/MMC/MS card reader
- Intel Core 2 Duo 2.83 GHz E8300 on Asus P5G41T-M LX with 2GB x 2 Kingston DDR3 1333 RAM
- Saphire AMD HD5450 1GB PCIe low profile GPU
- Noname USB 3.0 PCIe card
- Kingston SSDNow 300V 120GB SSD with Windows 7 Professional Installed
- LG CH10LS28 BD-ROM/DVD-RW

And this is wife's old Asus netbook, EeePC 1008HA (Intel Atom N280 CPU, 1GB DDR2 RAM, 160GB HDD, running Windows XP Home). It is really small, pictured with my Iphone 4 for comparison.

My old HS has a few of the P4 version of these. I really should grab a couple if the opportunity appears.

The new one is an Asus EeePC Surf 2G, and is an example of no-compromises miniaturization. Unlike the Acer, which is a full-fledged laptop in a tiny package, this one is about as bare-bones as you can get & still have a functioning PC. The "2G" in the name literally means 2 gigabytes, which is the size of the storage drive which is a solid-state module soldered onto the mainboard. This was made in 2008! Also soldered on is the 512MB of DDR. No upgrades here!

But why not this?

The Laptop is an Acer Aspire One, a Netbook.

I updated its BIOS, instaled Linux on it (complete with discreet stickers replacing the windows stickers)

The RAM went up from 1GB to 2GB
Wi-fi went from N to AC
Mechanical HDD went to an SSD
3 Cell Battery went to a massive 9 Cell Battery that is so big I don't need a laptop stand for it.

Next to it is the obscure Gameboy Micro
-It can only play GBA games, no GB/GBC
-It has a flash card it to avoid lugging around cartridges
-Unlike the GBASP, the Micro has a headphone jack
-It's metal and the D-pad feels different compared to other Nintendo D Pads
-The Charging Port and Link Port have been unified, I got a USB cable for easier charging

My list of netbooks is huge and I don't think it is comfortable to post pics of all of them but it consists of:
Asus:
1x EEE pc 701sd with mobo problem
3x EEE pc 900 (2x 16gb ssd/1x 16gb + 4gb ssd)
3x EEE pc 901 (1x 32gb + 32gb ssd/1x 32gb + 16gb ssd/1x 4gb + 16gb ssd)
2x EEE pc 1000H/HE (H in use by my mother, the HE is my testbench with its Atom cpu)
3x EEE pc 1001HA/PX (1x HA/2x PX)
5+ EEE pc 1005HA/P/PE/PX (don't know exactly, some of them still need repairs, total chassis is over 15)
3x EEE pc 1008HA/P (1x HA/2x P - beautiful seashells)
3+ EEE Pc 1015P/PEM/PN (one PEM is my travel companion/one with NVIDIA ion)
5+ EEE pc 1201HA/PN/N (one 1201N still in use for some old games - they are hot when gaming)
2x EEE pc 1215N/PN (also a 1201T but it died twice, both times mobo)
1x T91MT with 16gb SSD

Got about 3 boxes with spare parts for these so I should keep some running/repair a few more and a box with badly damaged chassis so perhaps even a few more.
Only model I never could acquire here for a decent price was the 900HD with a normal 2,5" hdd instead of the slow SSD from asus.

Toshiba:
Libretto 100CT I got for free, had some severe abuse and not sure if it is repairable.

Sony:
Vaio W - Bios problems/corrupt

Nice? How did you set up the hard drive to recognize 4GB CF Card? I've heard a few people say that the Unisys CWD 4001 BIOS only recognizes 1GB (some say 1.5GB).

Toshiba Libretto 50CT

Really nice - I like it a lot, its compact layout is so lovely - it reminds me other little gems like Atari Portfolio I've never had. The coolest little machine I've had is a HP Jornada.

Interesting and nice little beast 😀

Which use destination are you planning for it? Never thought about installing a small Linux distro like Damn Small Linux or the great (Knoppix) Puppy Linux?

Here's my smallest PC: do you recognize it? Had luck finding it during a periodical electronic market near the place where I live:
