Finally got … half of my butcher block counter in lol. To add to the humor of it all & absolute time suck, the company we purchased through ordered the wrong amount (they measured!!) so I have half of my counter in lol. Got the dishwasher installed (who knew you had to have it professionally...

I don’t have racks but I do have shelves. Here’s mine. This is where I work from when at home so a mash up of work space, music gear, family stuff, photography, vintage computing, retro PC & Cart gaming (bottom left out of frame) and cool 80's toys. Hah, there's 20 computers in this pano - a...

Wow, very cool I love the look of those crt studio displays as well - by far the coolest CRT design ever in the history of CRTs. Always wanted one myself but haven't run into one. Occasionally, I notice the PSU on my B&W does the same thing where it momentarily sparks when plugged in. Im unsure...

My imacg3 lobos have never gotten that hot on their own. The CRTs produce the majority of the heat IME. SSDs get plenty hot on their own as well. Truthfully, when I replaced the old spinner in my PowerBook g4 12” with a SSD it seems easily as hot if not hotter at times.

That looks great. Especially like the book end speakers on the floating shelf. Very cool floating shelf design BTW. I've not seen that engineered wrap around mount before.

That is a proper mess although cable management is a very satisfying feat. Look forward to seeing your solution.

It is entirely within reason to request seeing the merchandise being funded prior to hitting the donation button. Let’s see those shirt designs, pricing matrix (Ie: cost/GM%), materials, delivery eta etc. If they’re coming from Germany, any chance of rolling up some beer in the middle? 🍻 or...

While it seems the original idea was a forum that encompassed to a degree all tinkering whether it be with pcbs and ics or wood or cars or food (ie: tinker-y people) etc, it is pretty obvious that the only significant group invested in this forum and who stick around are computer enthusiasts -...

Ahh, the age old chicken or the egg paradox. Hierarchical philosophical entertainment at its finest. Like others here, I utilize "whats new>uncheck show only unread" for new discussion. For historical data, I navigate to the appropriate forum or run a search.

One man’s trash is another’s treasure. Would love to have run into that pickup. My first vintage Mac was a quicksilver I picked up back in 2014 from someone’s Sunday trash pile. Worked then and works now. Runs Q3A like a champ. Nice pickup!

I agree this looks repairable to me. In addition to supergluing the bits together, a couple layers of epoxy on the interior seam of the glued crack will help to keep them secure. This has always worked well for me on repairs where the plastic will not see any flexing ie: side panels, face plates...

Got the uppers hung & I realized quickly how not square the kitchen soffit is when trying to hang square cabinetry in it lol. Anyhow got it done. It has been an absolute struggle to get the butcher block counter wood in. Paid for but the supply chain for it is all screwed up and has taken...

Hah! Wrong month lol. Puting it in my calendar. See you then.

How did this go? I was hoping to go but my kids got sick just in time for Easter lol (Murphys law). Anyhow, hope it went well for you.

Dos Dude's discord lite works well on vintage macintosh. I run it on my Leopard PowerPC macs daily. Per his github, it works on old and modern macs alike, although admitingly I have utilized his app to bring discord to my PPC macs only, so nothing Intel at this point as my earliest late 2008...

Which G5?

Sounds like a fun time but am around 2000 miles away so will miss it. Hopefully some of the hamfests closer to me open back up post-Covid. Have fun.

Kentucky is a beautiful place. Congrats. 🙂 love the huge space. You are now beholden to fill every inch with vintage computers.

Coolest thing eh? So handy and so lame that Apple dropped it but whatevs that’s why I play with PowerPC macs.
