I finally dusted this project off (been working on it for years) and completed it last weekend.
My goal was to have a minimalist MAME arcade cabinet (no floorspace, wallmount, no waste).
I did this by:
-using a LCD mounted mini-itx case (computer is 7"x7"x2" mouned behind the LCD)
-20"...
Saw your Altair 8800b and Cosmac elf computer, I am an avid collector and would love to purchase both if you are willing to sell (I have a hand wired cosmac elf and an 8800b turnkey NO front panel switches, and still looking for an altair 680). Please let me know if they are for sale and...
My specs of the system are as follows:
Q9550 CPU OC'D 2.8ghz to 3.02ghz

Also, drilling a hole that...
So I just purchased a Q9550 (not the 9550S) for $169 from microcenter (just regular sale price, what a DEAL!). I REALLY wanted to get a Q9550S as I am using a 300W power supply and don't have much power for the already maxed out system (9600GT, water cooling and 4 hard drives).
So, I decided...
You may remember some of my mods included a Sharp X68000 converted into a quad core liquid cooled gaming desktop:
My next project is a Sinclair QL:
The goal of this Mod is to make the Sinclair QL a media keyboard PC, meaning on-board LI-ION battery with 2-4hour usage, and HDMI...
