Posted by: LaPorta on 2019-12-11 08:18:24 Excellent! I love looking at how people organize their stuff, and work areas. That’s really, really nice! Very maximized.
Posted by: olePigeon on 2019-12-11 09:08:15 That is an exceptionally nice collection. Nice job.

Posted by: LaPorta on 2019-12-12 02:35:03 By the way, what is the Apple II doing on the wall?
Posted by: ArmorAlley on 2019-12-12 03:03:56 By the way, what is the Apple II doing on the wall? You're right. I thought it was an air-conditioner until I looked more closely. I suppose the answer is being pretty.
Posted by: MarNo84 on 2019-12-12 03:40:23 By the way, what is the Apple II doing on the wall? This is my very first Apple //e I got a few years back 😉 due I only really use my Platinum IIe with DuoDisk this one is "obsolete" and well, I thought it just looks cool this way too 😛 You're right. I thought it was an air-conditioner until I looked more closely. I suppose the answer is being pretty. Airconditioner ...I just fell of my seat xD
Posted by: EvieSigma on 2019-12-12 12:00:27 Is that a Sanyo luggable partially disassembled in the second to last picture?
Posted by: MarNo84 on 2019-12-12 18:42:42 Is that a Sanyo luggable partially disassembled in the second to last picture? Well it's sadly no Sanyo - it's a 286 AT clone computer I got in parts a while ago 😉
Posted by: EvieSigma on 2019-12-12 21:10:31 It's eerily reminiscent of the Sanyo MBC-775, an early 8088 based luggable. Though that machine had vertical floppy drives instead of horizontal.

Posted by: MJ313 on 2019-12-13 05:43:25 I like the Mac Classic battery-explody board pinned to the side of the bookshelf :grin: Nonworking wrecked boards still look cool to me and imo make great artwork. I wonder how many of us do this? I have a sheet of plywood in my basement I stick them to.

I wonder how many of us do this? I have a sheet of plywood in my basement I stick them to. Yeah 😀 fun fact, I really tried on that Classic board :/ even restored some traces and CPU pins with wires...but didn't help much - now it's a 'classy' art thing on the wall 😉 I did the same with some of my Lisa boards and an early Macintosh 128k board too - but good thing here is, they all still work after their repair 😛
Posted by: MarNo84 on 2019-12-13 07:36:54 Something like this: https://www.tutti.ch/de/vi/zuerich/computer-zubehoer/computer/programmier-pc-siemens-pg750/33140383 ah, an Siemens SPS thing 😀 I had one of these in the past too 😉 quite cool machine!
Posted by: Bolle on 2019-12-13 08:28:47 I wonder how many of us do this? I do this too. I even started to frame them instead of hanging them onto the wall just the way they are.
Posted by: MarNo84 on 2019-12-13 08:56:26 I do this too. I even started to frame them instead of hanging them onto the wall just the way they are. a good frame can just make a huge difference on the wall 😀 I just got me a few deep/hollow frames from IKEA to put in some small stuff like the first iPhone or iPod 😉
Posted by: Bolle on 2019-12-13 13:08:50 Indeed. I just finished this... it's going to look great on the wall (but also was a real PITA to get done)
Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2019-12-13 18:31:02 That's beautiful! Makes me wanna clear off my (solder side cap corroded) 840av board, electroplate it chrome or something to mount it in a frame with LED sidelighting for extra pizzaz. Backlighting the thru-holes would be very cool as well. @MarNo84 I love that Lisa2 front bezel you have hanging at an angle over your bench. That's the only bit of Lisa in my collection, can't figure out how to best display or hack it, but that's a great way to store it!
