He/him. This is one of my alter egos in the retro world. Read about this instance on front page. My goal is to be able to post here from a 286* running DOS. Might be a while..

and enthusiast with a craving for retro (mostly PC) hardware. Four kids and a wonderful patchwork family.

Since nobody asked, here are a couple of pictures of the rig. It's not posing for the picture (I didn't tell it what was going on), so it's as messy as usual.

I'll post each picture as a reply to this post, as snac doesn't like multiple attachments..

Enjoy. And wish the poor box luck serving this.

This is the "aquarium case", as it has become known around the office. It has a nearly-invisible batman-symbol embossed on the front, and a similar cutout in the back. Beats me why, but it's kinda cool.

Server seen from the front. Black base with CD-ROM drive and power button in the front. The mainboard is mounted horizontally in the upper half, which is transparent. Seen are various expansion cards and the back of the CPU card itself.

And here's the innards. Curious eyes might spot some old and dear sound cards, other than that the highlight is of course the mainboard and the CPU board, which is replaceable. And the CPUs, obviously.

Inside of machine, showing two CPUs with fans on the CPU board, some RAM, a SCSI card, network card, SATA controller card and GPU - all 32-bit PCI. Next up are two sound cards - a Gravis Ultrasound and a Sound Blaster AWE64 Gold.
