Got tired of having stuff everywhere so I stole my closet shelf for a hall closet and started shoving most of my stuff in there.

List of main stuff in there:
IBM 5150 16-64KB with MB issues
IBM 5150 64-256 that probably works
IBM 5160 w/ 286 upgrade
AST Premium 286
Dell System 310
Macintosh IIcx
Macintosh SE w/ 68020 upgrade
3x Commodore 64, one in original box
2x VIC-20 in original box
Commodore 1541 in original box
Commodore 1541 II in original box
Commodore 1541 loose
Mattel Aquarius
Toshiba T5200

List of stuff I've gotta dig out to go in there:
PS/2 P70 that works
PS/2 P70 that doesn't work
Mac Plus
Toshiba T3100
Compaq Prolinea 4/25S
Amiga 500.

Just found back a picture I took of an old Socket 478 computer that I started right after bringing it from outside shed. Look at the temps !

CAPSLOCKSTUCK · May 26, 2015

Looks like you got it from the shed and put it straight in the fridge. Coolio.

Quebec winter time. No need of puting in the fridge cause the freezer is already the shed.

Oh, don't get me started. I have several DMG-01s, including my own 1989 first-run Grey Boy.
May as well take a pic of my display cabinet tonight and show off some of the old-school goodness all my houseguests are exposed to

I have one too and a purple one that makes me look gay but at 6 feet & 220 pounds no one dare to tell me.

What's up TPU.

Just finished (re)building my BMW:

Delux 400W PSU
MSI K9N Ultra (rebadged as K9N SLI)
AMD Athlon 64 x2 5600+ - downclocked from 2.8GHz to 2.2GHz due to safety reasons
2GB DDR2 RAM
ASUS Geforce 210 1GB
HL-DT-ST GSA-H55N DVD-ROM drive
1TB Samsung HD103SI SATA HDD
Delux MG760 case

Currently installing Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I need to get a new PSU (I have a 300w Bestec in mind)as I am quite worried with this one I currently have. I just kept it in my hand and it was very easy. Did the same with a 250W Bestec I had around and it was as heavy as a entire VCR.

New VCR or vintage one? Because there's a big difference!

Assuming new ones are lighter, I'd say a vintage one.

Oh yeah, and very much so! Cheap plastic & integrated PSU, no wonder these things fail & fall apart within 2-3 years of service! (but that's a whole other, different story) The older ones are indeed pretty heavy & sturdy, very reliable & can last up to 20 years and longer!

Old remote control that you programmed by rolling the wheels.

I am old, we used to have to get up and press one of the 4 channel buttons
i have never heard of, let alone seen one of those before, scroll wheels......epic

Nice one @JunkBear :toast:

I know it's not computer related but I found this Westinghouse Canada electrical motor patented 1933 and still working silently.

I plan to rebuild it and make it look new. Will power something with it I don't know yet. Maybe a water pump or something.

I guess it must be from the first remote controlled TV when LG was known as Goldstar and VHS were still expensive. Remember my parents bought a 32 inches TV for 700$ and a VHS for near 600$ .

You're not old. I am old. We used to have to get up and turn the dial.
And adjust the rabbit ears.

Im 34 and I was doing it too.

CAPSLOCKSTUCK · Jun 12, 2015

When i say we used to do it, it was my younger brothers' "job". We used to make him do it.
We could only get 2 channels when i was a kid so at least there werent too many arguments over viewing choices.

I can remember watching my Grandmothers TV in Twintown (Swansea) and when the programme finished she would shut the doors on the TV cabinet.......very posh.
