Found 2 cases on Ebay this morning...
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:

Terminal?
Looks more like a workstation...

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. 😀

You could be right, I don't know much about it.
It looks like a UNIX workstation to me.

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.

Sound Blaster Pro 2.0 ( CT1600 )
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.
Here's an ad for Techmedia.

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.

This is my new server Compaq Proliant ML350 G1.
It is equipped with one Pentium III @ 1 GHz, but is capable of dual PIIIs and up to 4GB of ECC SDRAM.

That ELSA looks like a 3dlabs permedia 2.
