Is that Crystalfontz display still working? Don't think I've seen one of those in action.

Found 2 cases on Ebay this morning, and they're within 20 miles of my house so I selected the local pickup option to save ridiculous shipping. I think this is the first time this has happened haha. About $35 each.

The display on that first case looks interesting! If it's complete you could do some cool stuff with it! https://www.crystalfontz.com/product/cfa634tm … ter-module-20x4

Yea I hope it works. I have a few Crystalfontz displays in other computers already. I love them. This computer is probably going to house my dual 1GHz Pentium III system. I have a NewQ Gold that I'm going to put in the front bays as well.

Got myself a nice "little" AT&T 3B2/310 terminal in excellent condition. It's big and heavy, barely any plastic, love it!

What a neat little system. Do you mind taking a shot of the back? I am sure you have seen the page, but this guy has a ton of info on it:

Sure, here you go.
Thanks for the info, it was an impulse buy because there wasn't much interest for it so I sniped it. I just couldn't resist a computer that was made when I was born. 😀

Cool, I have never seen Crystalfontz before, but I used to sell NewQ Golds back in the day. They were never really popular here and I'd love to find one. They're so 2000-ish.

Does anyone know anything about this computer case ?
It reads “techmedia”
It looks like a SS7 or 1st gen Pentium case but I am going to use it for my Ultimate 486 build.

If I did that it would be a system from the NASA Gemini project 🤣

Hate posting a reply and have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. 🤣 Second computer a 286 12Mhz with real IDE drive ! After that came 386, 486, Pentium, P.Pro and everything after....

I had a very similar, almost identical tower case with a front door for my first PC (486 DX33 in 1993). The only difference with mine was that the 5.25" and 3.5" drive bays were reversed in terms of location.
