Here is a list of my retro systems

a bunch of modern systems (6 desktops and quite a few laptops dating back to the XP days.. including an Athlon based retro gaming PC and 2x Lenovo Core 2 Duo think station computers)

AND...

(dunno if P4 already counts as retro.. but) 8x IBM Thinkstation Pentium 4 based systems with 2 GB of memory each, none of them have a bootdrive or OS ATM (some of them are "P4HT")

IBM X3400 M3 Server running Windows Server 2012 R2 (this thing is a beast, it gives new meaning to the word.. tower case... it is around 10? years old yet it has about 2 TB of storage across 12 SSCSI drives)

1x Pentium laptop (IBM Thinkpad)

1x Pentium II laptop (Compaq IIRC)

2x Pentium II celeron

1x Pentium

1x 80486

1x 80386

1x 80286

1x 8086

2x Amiga 500

2x Amiga 1200

6x Commodore 64

2x Commodore 64C

2x Commodore VIC20

1x Commodore 16

1x Commodore 116 (low serial number)

plus I likely forgot some

I will be better able to make a complete list, once my retro computer museum rises again (going to add a third building to the summer house in order to fit my entire retro computer museum)

at home I have 8 LCD monitors and in my sommer house I currently have 26 CRT monitors (2x video monitors, 2x TVs, 1x EGA, 4x monocrome and 17x pc VGA monitors)

Main PC SPECS:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600
GPU: Powercolor Red Devil Radeon RX 5700 XT
RAM: 8GB*4 Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200MHz
Motherboard: ASUS Prime B450M-A
PSU: Corsair RM850

Soon-ish(TM) 😀

some of them are in cases and others are just in pieces 😁
I just listed those that I remember

all of the retro systems are buried under heaps of old stuff (including old HAM radioes, measurement instruments, radioes etc) currently though, so I wont be able to dig them out and take pictures before another structure is buildt at my summer/vacation house 😀

I have one toolshed and one storage building that are both filled to the brim atm, so much that if I open the door to one of them, old hardware falls on my face 😁

There is Also an ooold ifm rack server inthere with floppy and cd-rom plus spare parts

I Got all the ibm systems back in 2014 for free since the place I worked at back then decided to upgrade the systems

I couldve gotten Many more p4 systems and old rack servers but the wife said no 😀

Apparently 32-bit is dead and nobody likes P4s.
Of course, as always, I'm open to correction...😉

A part from the odd dead hdd and low cmos batteries I'm sure they will.

Talk about a decent collection, that's something I don't have at the moment 🙁

You could commission all the P4 era machines for a retro lan party of sorts, if you could find enough people to join in

I guess I will find out, once I again get the room to have them ready for use 😀

Yes I was thinking about something like that at one point 😀 all the IBM P4 machiens have buildin lan ports and I have more than enough LAN cables and 10/100 MBps switches

I just need to have an additional building made at my vacation house first, and since I've just lost my job, it has been put on hold until I am back in employment 😀
