Just felt like showing it here

I still have that 17" Iiyama monitor as well as the PC on the right. There's a P200 with 96MB of RAM under the desk

Why do you keep those things?

Because I can?

Because they're awesome to certain people (myself included). There are some things an emulator just can't replace, like the sounds of the old hard drive, a floppy or even waiting for stuff.

I'm still a bit sad that I threw away my Colani tower many years ago. Together with its Cherry keyboard with its DS keycaps.

That's a massive tower, mate! Gotta look for a vintage pic of my IBM 486 PC! I remember it sported a CD-ROM drive with a very bold writing on it which said "2X"! That must have been quite an exciting speet at the time!

The tower in my pic was originally a 486DX-40 with 4MB of RAM and a 420MB hard drive. It later got upgraded to a Pentium 120 and eventually a Pentium 200 MMX.

I guess 420MB was like 2TB at the time! I remember only having 100MB.

On my Mouseman Dual Optical the rubber at the sides just resolved itself recently It was a good mouse.

Daniel, you can assemble replacement pads yourself.

i still got some dual opticals in my basement, cause i got extremely nervous when they announced to stop production of these and bought what was left on amazon like a mad man. i loved them back in the quake days, with hairspray on hard plastic pads, when friction was my worst enemy!

Well, of the computers in the top picture, only the one from under the desk is still with me. I recently sold the Athlon XP setup on the right for a whoping 40€
