Trying to boot up a Sun V100 that’s sat disconnected in the basement since we moved 12 years ago.
First I had to find where packet me harcourt the sun rj45 to db9 console dongles, and then the old ibm 3151 terminal and its null modem cable and some gender benders and….

A warmly lit desk staged to look like 2005, with a white iMac G4 in the center running The Sims in a window. Four pink sticky notes with handwritten reminders are stuck along the bottom of the screen. On the desk are a white Apple keyboard and mouse, an open computer textbook showing diagrams about disk boot and memory, and an open notebook with handwritten technical notes and a pen resting on it. To the left are a Coca-Cola can, a portable Sony Discman with a small speaker attached, a Sony Ericsson flip phone, a blue floppy disk, a blue calculator, and a black Game Boy Advance SP with a Shrek 2 cartridge beside it. A DVD of Corner Gas season one is also visible. To the right are a Logitech game controller and a green-yellow lava lamp casting a soft glow. The scene looks like someone was supposed to be studying for computer class but got distracted by playing The Sims instead.
It’s 2005. You were supposed to be studying for your computer class on your #imacg4, but got distracted by #thesims instead! #2000s #2000snostalgia #discman #gameboy #gameboyadvance #tamagotchi #cornergas #nostalgic #nostalgia #oldcomputer #imac #gameboyadvancesp #lavalamp #flipphone #sonyericsson
A silver Power Mac G4 Mirror Drive Doors tower sits on the left side of a desk next to a black and silver 5:4 Dell LCD monitor. The monitor shows Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger with a web browser open to the SpaceHey website (a modern version of the classic MySpace website) and the “About This Mac” window visible, listing Mac OS X version 10.4.11, a dual 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 processor configuration, and 2 MB of L3 cache per processor. The wallpaper on the desktop is a tiger fur pattern, referencing the operating system codename “Tiger”. In front of the monitor is an Apple keyboard and an Apple mouse on the desk. The setup is in an unfinished basement with exposed wooden framing and pink insulation visible in the background. The lighting is low and warm, provided by a nearby desk lamp out of frame.

A staged early-2000s computer desk setup lit with blue and magenta accent lighting. On the left, a white iBook G4 laptop displays SpaceHey, a modern MySpace-style social network, in a Firefox-based browser. In the center is a Dell Dimension 2200 tower connected to a Dell CRT monitor showing Windows XP with the game Zuma Deluxe running, using a Dell keyboard and mouse. Beige Harman/Kardon desktop speakers sit beside the monitor. Spread across the desk are period accessories including a Motorola Razr flip phone, a blue Tamagotchi Connection, a TI-84 graphing calculator resting on an open handwritten notepad, a black Game Boy Advance SP, and a blue 3.5-inch floppy disk labeled “Plop Bootloader.” A GTA III jewel case lies near the front edge of the desk, and a Maran Illustrated Windows XP: 101 Tips book stands behind the computers.

A 90s computer setup sits on a beige desk. It consists of beige small form factor PC underneath a CRT monitor, a beige Dell keyboard and beige mouse on a black mousepad, with two beige speakers on either side. The CRT is off, but the reflection of a standing light can be seen. In the background, pink insulation and wood studs can be seen in the unfinished basement.

My favourite thing about #atx is that I can hook up 2-year old power supplies to 27-year old computers. This PSU is over 8.5x more powerful than the original!
I was testing to see if power delivery was the reason a GPU wasn’t working. Confirmed it’s not the power supply! #oldcomputer #cursed
A very small computer. Unlike the Speccy's rainbow design, it has red, green, and blue diagonal stripes at the bottom-left of the keyboard.

A very wide trapezoid-shaped display housing two green screen monitors.
Here's an interesting machine called the GeoStar, which had a two-monitor display. On the left was a vector display for text. On the right, a raster display for plotting maps. It was used on mining sites.

A beige CRT monitor displays Memtest86 5.01 running on a Pentium II system. The top half of the blue screen shows system details such as “CLK: 348.5MHz (PAE Mode),” “Memory: 384M,” and “Chipset: Intel i440BX.” The timer reads 00:00:04, but it is frozen and not advancing. The bottom half of the screen is filled with rapidly scrolling red error rows, showing countless failing memory addresses around the 276MB region. Many of the hexadecimal values in the “Good,” “Bad,” and “Err-Bits” columns appear slightly blurred due to how fast the errors were flying by. The error counter reads over 2.7 million errors. Warm ambient light reflects off the CRT bezel in the dimly lit room.
Yo wtf

A graphite iMac G3 displaying the About This Mac window on Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger. The system specs list a 500MHz PowerPC G3 processor and 512MB of SDRAM. The desktop wallpaper is a stylized map from Fallout 3, shown in shades of blue and black that glow vividly against the CRT screen. The iMac sits on a desk beside a Dell keyboard and another beige CRT monitor, with CDs stacked on the left and a dimly lit room with pink insulation and grey curtains in the background.
The same iMac G3 running Mac OS X Tiger with a Finder window open, showing user folders such as Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Movies, Music, and Pictures. The CRT emits a bright glow. A white Apple keyboard is positioned in front of the iMac, and to the left, a stack of jewel-cased CDs and a shelving unit with electronics and cables are visible.
I like to power on my #CRT monitors every now and then. This graphite #imac #imacg3 still looks good, even if the camera made it look soft! #retromac #oldmac #powerpc #powerpcmac #vintagemac #2000snostalgia #nostalgia #oldcomputer #retrocomputer

A moody, retro-tech filming setup lit with nostalgic, dramatic cyan and magenta lighting. A beige IKEA desk is positioned against an unfinished wall with exposed insulation. On the desk sits a silver Shuttle XPC cube-style PC, illuminated with pink and blue light, in front of a Lenovo ThinkVision monitor. A pair of Logitech speakers, a wired keyboard, a black mouse, a network switch, and a Mac Mini are also on the desk. To the left is a purple desk lamp, and on both sides in front of the desk are two LED lights mounted on tripods, but only the tall cyan light stick and the purple desk lamp are turned on. A camera is set up on a tripod in front of the desk, aimed at the Shuttle PC. Underneath the desk sit a silver Power Mac G4 MDD and a Dell Optiplex tower.
A close-up of the silver Shuttle XPC cube computer, dramatically lit with magenta and cyan lighting. The front panel features a DVD-ROM drive, a floppy drive, and front I/O ports including USB, audio jacks, and power/reset buttons. A classic blue Intel Pentium 4 “Intel Inside” sticker is visible in the lower right corner. The metal case has some wear and scratches, showing its age. The background is lightly out of focus and blurred, but still shows the black Lenovo monitor, desktop speakers, and the wall’s insulation behind the desk.
Oh snap! I'm finally getting back to work! I teased this video months ago, and I'm finally getting around to re-shooting it now that I have more space to actually do this properly. #videomaking #retropc #retrocomputer #pentium4 #shuttlexpc #oldpc #oldcomputer
