Ah, if only… ✨

Biostar IDEQ. Very similar to a Shuttle.

Good evening all, a big announcement!

Kytor DC power adapters are now available on Console5 and the direct store, including the elusive Triad to SNES adapter and Sega Genesis (1 & 2) Tower of Power cables.

These are extremely high quality 18 awg copper cables.

Links below!

The cobbler is finally getting some new shoes. ✨ Ol’ hooptie circa 2017 on the left, new hotness on the right.

Shoutout to @geekenspiel.bsky.social for existing and making my rig geekier and adding 5 fps more to Quake 3 and Halo CE 😌

This a chonky boy right here. So chonky in fact that it won’t fit in my Fractal North case. 🫠 North XL ordered…

Ah, ok. Good to know!

Time to get to work on my first modern build in 8 years... 😬

I've built two socket 7 V2 SLi systems; one with a V770 Ultra and one with a G400 Max. Both great systems. I also have a Savage 4 S540 Etreme that would be interesting as an AGP if I end up doing another SLi build...

Technically Biostar’s IDEQ but I think they’re pretty much the same.

Especially nice when you have to pack it in a suitcase to take it to VCFMW. 😉

Currently a WIP but as I usually do, I’ll be giving away a simple Win98 gaming setup at VCFMW this year. Amazing how much time you can put into a “simple” setup… 🙄

This was originally a Brick Multistation (Brick was a common OEM brand in Norway in the 1990s). Yellowed beyond repair, but I found some drives that matched it quite well. Stickers from @geekenspiel.bsky.social adds the final touch! Classic MS-DOS gaming in progress!

Taking a little summer vacay so… it’s time for a SALE! 😎

Oh we’re just getting started here! 😅

If that’s the case I probably should have repented at some point. 👹

It’s retro-brite season! ☀️🔥☀️

Sadly I think this 850MHz slot A is ded. 💀

Everyone’s talking about the sequel and I’m still stuck on the prequel… 😍

Get ‘em while they’re hot (or not?)… 🤔

Spending a few days in NYC… ✨

Too bad there’s no demo kiosk. You could get an updated pic of Luke. 😎

Me build vibes... ✨

So fun revisiting these but I feel like it’s definitely harder to see them than it was in my 20s & 30s ✨👀

The inside of the Nvidia Trade Show PC (mainly featuring the period-incorrect Quadro K4000)

The front, with FDD and SATA dock (and Geekenspiel’s Nvidia repro sticker)

The side, with the old Nvidia logo etched into the acrylic

The BIOS screen (showing a Core 2 Quad Q6600)

Doing some work on the Nvidia Trade Show PC to add a SATA dock to the front so I can quickly swap OS drives. (Shoutout to @geekenspiel.bsky.social for the Nvidia sticker for the front, really ties it together!)

Very cool!

It’s real. 💯

Definitely the right price. 😎

Yes, I bought it. 👍🏼

SilverStone is back with a beige PC case that looks just like your crappy old 486 FLP02 has a throwback facade but can fit a thoroughly modern PC inside.

Everything old is new again… 🤩
