| PICTURES | SPECS & DESCRIPTION | 
|---|---|
| Random Whitebox | Quick Specs 
 Had been monitoring the ventilation system in a school since the late 1990s, only stopped because the power supply internally exploded. Replaced the PSU with a standard ATX PSU and an ATX to AT adaptor and it sprung back to life. Motherboard is a Gigabyte GA486IM with 4 PCI slots, 4 ISA slots and 2 VLB slots. Has two identical ISA serial/parallel/game-port cards with one acting as the HDD/FDD controller. Also has a Realtek NIC with both RJ45 and BNC. GPU is a Cirrus Logic card and is astoundingly shit. | 
| 2023 MacBook Pro 14" | Quick Specs 
 | 
| 2018 MacBook Pro 13" | Quick Specs 
 Old main computer. Really like the touch bar, absolutely hate the butterfly keyboard. | 
| 2012 Lenovo ThinkPad T430 | Quick Specs 
 One of my main computers. Has been modified to use a classic keyboard instead of the stock Lenovo keyboard. | 
| 2005 IBM ThinkPad X41T | Quick Specs 
 | 
| 1999 Dell OptiPlex GX1 | Quick Specs 
 Cool computer that uses Slot 1 CPUs. After a lot of trial and error I managed to max out the memory. Has a riser that sports 2 PCI and 2 ISA slots (one PCI and ISA share the same slot). | 
| 2003 IBM ThinkPad T40 | Quick Specs 
 Useful laptop thanks to its parallel port. Has the ubiquitous GPU solder issues which I """"fixed"""" by jamming a CF card between the GPU chip and the keyboard. | 
| 2010 HP Compaq Elite 8100 | Quick Specs 
 | 
| 2014 Mac mini | Quick Specs 
 Was used as my VM host for a few years. Has now been superseded by an actual 1U rack-mount server. | 
| 1996 Fujitsu Milan | Quick Specs 
 Was originally a family members' laptop. Unfortunately the HDD side of the HDD/FDD cable ripped while I was removing the drive to clean the computer. Still scouring eBay for a replacement cable (or more likely, an entire parts machine). | 
| 1999 Compaq Armada M300 | Quick Specs 
 Nice little laptop. Mysteriously dead. |
