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.

Been asked to post pics of this PPro/PIIOverDrive rig. Couple of shitty pics here; let me know if anyone wants actual details. :) Too tipsy to provide much right now..

Picture of the CPU board, with two Pentium II OverDrive CPUs with retrofitted Noctua fans (for the noise..). Some cabling for the CF card, and more spaghetti for power, fans, etc.

Picture of the other side of the CPU board, showing half of the system RAM (512MB in total), a SCSI controller, NIC, USB, VGA, SATA and Gravis Ultrasound and Sound Blaster AWE64 Gold cards.

And for the sake of completeness, my desktop while it's busy posting the above post to the rest of the Fediverse. Luckily I got a shot before my CPU monitor had removed all her textiles...

An actual picture of a screen showing NetBSD with HexChat, a couple of log tailers on the root window, a messy background image, WindowMaker window manager, and the Hot Babe CPU monitor busy getting undressed next to GKrellM explaining why. And a couple of (remote) ungoogled-chromium windows.

    And since nobody asked: The Office.


    Picture of (part of) my office. Left-to-right: A 486-50 running OS/2+Novell Netware, a 486DLC, a 486DX4, a somethingorother, a dual Pentium Pro. Above, a cabinet with LED-lit retrocomputing components and games.
