Hej hej:)
Probuje znalezc stara obudowe PC, cos jak te wlasnie budy od Optimusa z naszych czasow, ale ATX, nie AT - nie pamietasz czy Optimus mial ATX bude w tym stylu? Cos mi sie chyba obija w glowie pamiec ze bylo cos takiego. najpierw byly wszystkie pierwsze Pentiumy, 60, 75, 90 100 itd, ale chyba pozniej byla taka obudowa w ATX nie?

Nie jestem dokładnie pewien o jaki typ obudowy ci chodzi; czy ta leżąca czy stojąca, ale jestem pewien, że Optimus robił obudowy w formacie ATX bo sam jedną posiadam. Niestety wnętrzności nie są już oryginalne.

Optimus również robił komputery z płytami OEM (nie ATX) i takowego również posiadam. Jest to naprawdę całkiem spoko sprzęt gdyż jest to oryginalnie Pentium 133 a płyta posiada normalne złącza PS2 na myszkę i klawiaturę oraz wbudowaną kartę dźwiękową Yamaha OPL-SAx oraz wbudowaną kartę graficzną S3 Trio 64V+.

Jest to ogromna szkoda, że nie ma w internecie praktycznie żadnych informacji na temat komputerów naszej polskiej marki. A i tak na koniec jestem prawie pewien, że na forum nie można się posługiwać innymi językami niż angielski.

First time poster. Spent the last few months collecting bits and pieces to put my dream XP setup together. PC is a used NEC Deskmate with an i3-4130 I threw an SSD and a GT730 into. Viewsonic A90, Dexxa mouse, and Unicomp Model M to finish it up. Posters I got printed out at a local shop.

Im in the middle of cleaning, because i had some watter from roof, and take a pictures of my computer room

Oh no! I hope you didn't have permanent damage to your equipment/software/games! I like the vibe of your room, makes me a bit jelly.

Thanks, no, thank good only small damages because most of stuff in this room are whitout a box, and water on cards are easy to clean

I have most of machines in box in my room

But still many boxes in tje computer room, but lucky me no one get much damaged, some small loss. The msx, amiga, spectrum, valuable games survived

thanks!

nice corner, good to see the soldier of fortune box in pride of place, and confirmation of year 2000 compliance too 😀

It has been a while since I last posted my "computing area", so here it is as it's now.

Looks very tidy! I am curious though, why it seems you have so many multi-meters and oscilloscopes.... I am not an expert in electronics, so forgive me for my ignorance, if all of those similar looking things have different functions. Haha.

It's not always this tidy. 😀
And yes, those things all serve a different purpose indeed, except for a couple of handheld multimeters which cover the same functionality. But then again, you can never have too many multimeters. (don't ask!)

Love that MU2000. Is that your favorite synth?

Any chance you have a display of all your midi gear? I’m sure many of us would be drooling.

Before I moved I had a really nice setup. Still have the hardware but the desk is gone, when I put it in storage it got water damaged /:

The PC Specs:
- Dual Pentium III 1GHz CPU's
- Modified OEM IBM Intel OR840 Motherboard
- 2 GB (4x512MB) PC-800 40ns RAMBUS Memory
- GeForce II Ultra 64MB (VGA out on this card has since gone bad, looking for a replacement / fix)
- Sound Blaster Live 5.1 Platinum
- Mitsubishi super disk drive
- Some Sony DVD-ROM drive
- 2x 128GB SSD's w/ SATA to IDE adapters (one for Windows 98SE and the other for Windows 2000 Professional, both are housed in a single drive caddy)

Loved when I had that setup, I even had a startech VGA capture card so I could stream what I was doing on it to my friends on discord, it was awesome.
I took these pictures on a sony Mavica, MVC-FD200 I believe. Only issue I had with the setup was the SATA to IDE adapters were a bit unstable, I'd probably just install a actual SATA PCI card next time.
