Come on guys. I know there's a lot of older hardware floating around this forum. Post'em!

I had a P-133 laptop a while ago, it ran XP reasonably [extremely slow, but I was used to it] the only problem was the 2GB hard drive, I had a 20GB one, but the hard drive was in a acse that changed the connector, it took me a while to figure out the standard 44 pin ide was inside it, but at that time it was already dead....
I've got some C64's! My PSU blew though, I have to find another.
I compose chiptunes on retro hardware, Gameboys, Commodore/Amiga, NES, etc.

My dad bought a similar Everex model as our first family computer right before my birthday in 1988 ('cept he bought a sony vga monitor and got a 20MB hard drive).
Everex system 1800A
4 Mhz Intel 80286 proc with an 80287 NPU
Suntac chipset
1 Mb ram
4 mb HDD
\and the super-deluxe 'amber' monitor....

I wonder how many people think that Everex is a newcomer to the PC market. They weren't what you call mainstream.

I'll get some pics of what I can find. I managed to unearth a Commodore 16 (not 64!) while moving stuff today.
Since you all liked the Libretto, here's the first of many replacements beside it(clickable to see a bigger version or see more pics):
Fujitsu Lifeook P1120--Transmeta Crusoe 800MHz (horribly slow), 256MB of RAM (soldered in), 20GB HD in this pic, 8.9" 1024x600 touchscreen. The case ended up damaged in a botched harddisk upgrade, but it's still more or less functional.
I had a bit of an addiction to these for a while, I went through three ultraportables over the course of 2007. The Libretto was the first, the Lifebook was second, and the EEE PC 701 was the last, of that year. Currently on an EEE PC 900(it was 2008 when I got that ).
Ultraportable family photo (though the last two don't really fit this thread):

I got something smaller for you....

Compaq 9232

- 1.2GB HDD

Does it run windows? I never got to mess with the one they had...It's kick ass for solitare I tell you! If you got the charging kit for it that is... the bios battery in mine died, I think I got a new one (don't remember really...) and I do not have the serial cable for it. I can still install some apps from CF!
Oh, yeah, well, I had a soldered on 386SX25, I spilled battery acid on it, and ran it till it died [it wouldn't even post, so I just counted until sparks/ smoke, it was only around a minute...]I just got my hands on a 486 board with a soldered on 486SX.

Did you underclock it

May I ask why?
Because I'm running it completely fanless and the less heat the better.
Plus, I get a thrill from messing with old hardware and seeing what it can do.
Beige is so gross.
My boss brought his 1st computer into the store today.. not sure why. I'd ask but hes out doing an on-site call.
Don't mind the scanner, it was in the way of my moving stuff around and ended up in the pic.
Printer and 2 keyboards (got slightly rained on today):
Colors can be gross. Beige is one of them.
