Was hoping to find the Beelink GTR5 i want to use. So far i've found an old Shuttle XPC with an even older Audigy 2 ZS external soundcard that apparently at one point ran linux mint at least 15 years ago.

A small form factor desktop computer with a large external soundcard on the top that says 'Caution - Do not play in on or around this container for any purpose' which was originally meant for a dumpster. The pc has a linux mint badge on it, an old AMD badge and a yin yang symbol sticker.

My favourite thing about #atx is that I can hook up 2-year old power supplies to 27-year old computers. This PSU is over 8.5x more powerful than the original!

For context, I was testing to see if power delivery was the reason a GPU wasn’t working. Confirmed it’s not the power supply! #oldcomputer #oldpc #retrocomputer #cursed

Dites, c'est grave docteur si je fais mumuse avec 86box pour voir ce que donnait OS/2 Warp 3, le grand rival de Windows 3.1 avec lequel il était compatible ?

Bon, faudrait déjà qu'il reconnaisse le lecteur de CD, et c'est pas gagné...

Oh snap! I'm finally getting back to work! I teased this video months ago on Bluesky, and I'm finally getting around to re-shooting it now that I have more space to actually do this properly. #videomaking #VintageComputer #retropc #retrocomputer #pentium4 #shuttlexpc #oldpc #oldcomputer #videoproduction #peertube

A moody, retro-tech filming setup lit with nostalgic, dramatic cyan and magenta lighting. A beige IKEA desk is positioned against an unfinished wall with exposed insulation. On the desk sits a silver Shuttle XPC cube-style PC, illuminated with pink and blue light, in front of a Lenovo ThinkVision monitor. A pair of Logitech speakers, a wired keyboard, a black mouse, a network switch, and a Mac Mini are also on the desk. To the left is a purple desk lamp, and on both sides in front of the desk are two LED lights mounted on tripods, but only the tall cyan light stick and the purple desk lamp are turned on. A camera is set up on a tripod in front of the desk, aimed at the Shuttle PC. Underneath the desk sit a silver Power Mac G4 MDD and a Dell Optiplex tower.A close-up of the silver Shuttle XPC cube computer, dramatically lit with magenta and cyan lighting. The front panel features a DVD-ROM drive, a floppy drive, and front I/O ports including USB, audio jacks, and power/reset buttons. A classic blue Intel Pentium 4 “Intel Inside” sticker is visible in the lower right corner. The metal case has some wear and scratches, showing its age. The background is lightly out of focus and blurred, but still shows the black Lenovo monitor, desktop speakers, and the wall’s insulation behind the desk.

Oh, I forgot to show you some super nostalgic images of #windows2000 booting up! Yes, takes me right back! (and, between you and me? This computer's host name is Alpaca.)

A beige IBM CRT monitor sits atop a Compaq Deskpro EN desktop computer, both part of a retro computing setup. The screen displays the early boot screen of Windows 2000 Professional, showing the “Starting Windows…” text with a horizontal progress bar made of small blue rectangles. Below it reads: “For troubleshooting and advanced startup options for Windows 2000, press F8.” To the left are a few jewel cases for CDs, and to the right is a Logitech speaker and a Mac mini is just barely visible. The background features pink fiberglass insulation and a curtain.The same IBM CRT monitor and Compaq Deskpro EN are now shown further along in the boot process. The screen displays the Windows 2000 Professional splash screen, featuring the Windows flag logo and the text “Built on NT Technology.” A loading bar near the bottom reads “Starting up…” with a copyright notice below: “Copyright © 1985–1999 Microsoft Corporation.” The glow from the CRT adds a soft light to the otherwise dim workspace. The rest of the setup remains unchanged, including the CD cases, speakers, and nearby Mac mini.

I know it’s not as dramatic as it could be, but I still think the contrast of these two laptops, 14 years apart, looks neat. #vintagemac #oldpc #retromac #vintageapple #ibook #ibookg4 #powerpc #powerpcmac #powerpcg4 #macbook #macbookair

Two Apple laptops are side by side on a beige desk: on the left is a more modern M1 MacBook Air in silver, and on the right is a white iBook G4 running Mac OS X Tiger. The MacBook Air displays the macOS Sequoia desktop, with the “About This Mac” window open, showing it as a MacBook Air with an Apple M1 chip and 8GB of RAM. The iBook G4 screen also shows its system information, revealing it’s running Mac OS X 10.4.11 with a 1.2GHz PowerPC G4 processor and 1.25GB of RAM. The iBook has a vivid rose-themed wallpaper and is plugged into power, with its charging indicator glowing orange.  Behind the laptops is a large 24-inch Sun Microsystems LCD monitor, currently powered off, and a white Apple keyboard tucked partially underneath it. A Microsoft-branded mouse is visible on the right edge of the desk, and a partially obscured camera sits to the left of the MacBook Air.
