Laner Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) Got the urge to play some Zork, so I set up the 128 for proper 80 column G.U.E. exploration. Edited September 24, 2017 by Laner 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danny_galaga Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) My girlfriend helped me clean up my unit as I was kinda stuck in a depressed mode of having moved in but not knowing what to do with all my shit. She came up with this position for my C64. We just used a crate and an old tv cabinet to get a rough idea. Not sure it's the best position because I won't get much light and I feel I want a bit of sunlight and it doesn't look right next to the cab. On the plus side, this is in my living room so with summer approaching I can have aircon (",) The other position I can put it is in my games room. That is set up with consoles and it isn't a large room. But I figured out a neat way to have it set up in the cupboard! Neat, and some nice natural light from outside. For some reason I want natural light when I finally get serious with the Commie.but no aircon in that room...

bpatte02 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 My Vic 20. It has currently attached to it a 32k expansion cart, a sd2iec, a datasette, a 3 slot userport expansion, a WiModem, and a Vic-1525 dot matrix printer (it sits underneath the table on a shelf.) I also replaced the power supply with a Ray Carlson PSU. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schnuth Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I totally dig those little shelves you guys use for monitor stands. I'm using a old printer stand ATM. Where did you find yours save2600? I really dig the style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I love these kinds of threads! Nothing is more cool (to me) than seeing people's old computer systems as they were "back in the day", EXCEPT... seeing people's old computer systems "as they are now".

Keatah Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) Looking good! I miss those clock radios. Still have one of mine. Somehow, someway, they added an aura of warmth to the room. Edited October 1, 2017 by Keatah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 The ONE thing I do not miss about the "Classic Computer Era" are all the cords (electrical and otherwise) that one has to hide. I mean really, how many power strips do we use on our classic computers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam242 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Wish I still had this one... This PET came into my possession when my old elementary school tried to throw it out. I actually used this machine in 5th grade! Sadly sold on craigslist a few years ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean really, how many power strips do we use on our classic computers? The power strip in the pic where I had my TI, Apple ][+ and C64 (among other systems and consoles) hooked to, I made in school. Was a shop project… bent the metal, stamped out or drilled the holes, painted, baked… then assembled the outlets and affixed the power cord. L0VED this power strip for years and years before finally losing track of it. sigh DAMN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 @adam242: The 4032 was nice, but the low profile 2031 probably was the real icing of the cake. I hope you got a good offer, as those 2031-LP tend to be quite rare to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you got a good offer, as those 2031-LP tend to be quite rare to find. I think I let the system go for US$100. I know, I know... shoulda kept this one. I went through a 'purge' of anything non-Atari a few years back and this one one of the casualties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
