>>108477076I had two Octanes and O2s plus purple Indigo 2 and Indy. Octane was used as a daily driver. Still kick myself that I needed to let these go because of life situation etc. Now these are pretty hard and stupidly expensive to come by.

much prefer the older f-84w over the f-91w. would be cool to find one with an amber light.
>>108477119What's aesthetically pleasing about this piece of Chink rubber dogshit with shitty decals slapped on it?
>>108477087Industrial PCs and older amplifiers had this look. It's a nice look. I have an old 100W amp that came out of an arcade machine that looks more or less like that.
>>108477112>those metal knobs>that metal on/off stick
I have the same Sony TC200 "portable" reel to reel recorder/player. I'm to lazy to pull it out and take pictures but it still works though.

You wanted one.

>>108477855one could use this design with a proper wide screen, speakers hidden in the screen chassis(directed towards the sides), modern PC underneath in the same box style, the keyboard unit could have a Blu-ray player, SD and USB slots. empty surface could be tactile with a stylus
Still the best product they ever made.

>>108477076Sleeper build in an Indigo case would be cool.
>>108479298That's just a slab of boring, cold metal.
>>108479307I feel like sleepers are useless when you're going to be using a modern monitor anyway and maybe a gaming mouse.
>>108479298Still the best PC case IMO. I want to buy one, ATX mod it and powder coat it matte black or anodize it. Either way.Right now I've got an Enthoo Evolv X which is the closest I could find
>>108479298cheese grater
I had a dream that I had this.
CaseLabs cases were some of the best around for both form and function. The color here is a custom one-off though , but this is one of the only pictures I've seen of a S8 that has the pedestal add-on and the extended 36mm top. I actually have this model with black exterior and white interior, but no pedestal .
>>108479298Apple hates this and wants to remove it from historical records.
We had a bunch of Indys at one of the sites I work at but they got rid of them during a big system upgrade.Pity. Myself and one of my colleagues were saying we wanted to bid on them if they ever went up for auction in the aftermath.

LianLi 'special edition' art cases were always wild in the old days. Pic related
vvghhhh sovl thread so mvch sovll aaaaaaa
>>108479840
and now, one of the rarities of the oldfag days - WiNDY Soldam cases. These were basically made and sold only in Japan during the 2000s, so even enthusiasts who wanted them couldn't likely get them without paying exorbitant straw purchase fees.

Now a LianLi that I owned - the ARMORSUIT P-80! This was back in the day when a LianLi or a Silverstone would be ALL aluminum, not just the fascia on the front. ARMORSUIT was a super tower with a door that hid the fans, as well as a fuckload of 5.25" bays (or a radiator if you so chose).

looks like a video camera but is actually for stills
Did you ever want a pair of headphones that cost as much as a luxury sedan? Sennheiser Orpheus (this is the new model, the old models all have their own unique looks) are approximately $50K.
>>108479961original HE90 Orpheus version from the 90s that were like 15K back in the day. Oh and the recent one above, apparently all the tubes basically rise up out of the marble base when you turn the thing on as part of a power up sequence.
Everything WILL look like a nondescript slab of black shiny plastic and you WILL like it.
>>108478634I find it aesthetically pleasing, and especially like the color and the very non-tech font they went with for their name.>>108479794>>108479872I like these>>108479961>>108480002Speaking of headphones, maybe you guys can help answer something thats been bothering me for years-I saw a movie ages ago that I think took place in the 70s (80s maybe?), and there's this coked out character in an apartment that had these beautiful metal/chrome studio headphones that had little sliding knobs on one of the earpieces (like an equalizer). They a heavy industrial look to them.Do you guys know of any headphones like that?
>>108479689Looks like the affordable version of the Motorola Aura.

>>108479918Reminds me of the Canon Photura, my mom had one of those.
>>108479961i remember cheapaudioman testing these. some people just have millions to burn

>>108477076>>108477823>>108477828>>108477837The movie Lost in Space has a ton of CGI that was made with Silicon Graphics computers and it even has an ad for it inside the movie. I didn’t really like the movie, mostly because of the excessive CGI.https://youtu.be/XKsbKhNa_7k?t=253
>>108480344Did the MD drive work for data?
>>108480818With the included software (OpenMG Jukebox), it was basically limited to transferring music from PC to MD, it didn't even allow MD to PC downloads. I would have to imagine some enterprising person came up with a work-around, though. https://www.minidisc.org/brian_youn/mzn1/page3.html
>>108477076Sgi boxes look like something Nintendo would shit out to pander to 12 year oldsyour nostalgia mental illness isn't real UNC, your brain is rapidly decomposing if you're old enough to think this looks good
>>108481084The Nintendo 64 was co-developed with SGI and is basically just a scaled down SGI workstation.
>>108480914I used to buy those sony earphones exclusively for a long time. They were cheap and sounded good for what they were. I still have at least one unopened box of them with their little plastic reel case.
>>108477121It's gotta be the solar one.
>e-waste thread
Sony ICD-UX570 Digital Voice Recorder
>>108481660>e-waste>majority of devices posted could be serviced easily
>>108480579>>108480914Sony went hard with a lot of cool looking stuff that was chrome or brushed metal. >>108481682I love the design of this, but I cant tell if it would feel cheap or sturdy.
>>108481580Same. Wish I'd stockpiled a bunch of them.
>>108481766Both at the same time, amazingly enough.It's 1/5 taller, 1/5 wider, and 2/3 the thickness of a bic lighter, so the despite the pbt plastic, you can tell that you could break it if you threw it really hard, but you'd definitely have to do something on purpose. Tons of features. Crystal clear sound. You can use it to listen to music, wear a wire to a drug deal, record a board room meeting, blackmail someone, record a musical instrument, record phone calls with the line in. There's options.
>>1084817991/5, 2/3, -2/3
>>108481813>>108481799It's 1/3 wider, dammit.
>>108481799Or the reason I bought it, to proactively protect myself, legally, against suspicious people in a one-party consent state. Some people are crazy, and you should record it when they talk to you because you could need that in court one day to save you from their false accusations.
>>108481127it actually isn't
>>108477221Is that a tube camera? The cheaper ones were very trippy
>>108479772I think they actually made a production version of this you could buy. Spring-loaded and everything. Except, for some reason, it couldn't send or receive SMS messages. At all. Even though it was a 2G phone.
>>108480268I fucking love those old amber-phosphor terminals.
The first graphing calculator
Poorman's ITX in late 00s
>>108481792The only thing that sucked about them was the cable was too short. Makes sense though since they wanted the cable to fit in the storage reel.
i'm looking for a name for what to call that halcyon moment in time when tech was aesthetic and did amazing things.

>>108482523Reminds me of this
>>108482523I had to remove the cover and use a huge box fan to keep mine cool
>>108481766I have one of these:>>108480579It’s titanium. It is very sturdy.
>>108477509I wish my Saturn looked as good as that, but I can't complain given it cost me less than $20.
>>108479471>powder coat it matte black or anodize it. Either way.Polish the shit out of it, mirror finish. There was a guy who did this and ran it as a server. Can't fucking find it now.

>>108483190Still have mine. It was an amazing device a the time shot in the foot by the zune software. If it was more open it would have done better.

Any watches?
>>108483374There was a Soviet digital watch that I really liked, but I can't find it anymore.
>>108483374i like 70s LED ones desu
the model 1 genesis is the most aesthetic console. 2nd place goes to the original playstation. I really wish I had a model 1 sega CD to go along with the model 1 genny and complete the look, but instead I have a model 2 CD that only looks okay with the model 2 genny, so I keep that hooked up separately.

Its not perfectbut I love the look of this rotary cellphone made by some independent engineer.
>>108488833also love the look of this pda created by another independent maker.
>>108483374I like these older Braun ones. Very clean.

I liked this gayphone design so much
Silverstone SUGO SG01-E(volution). Excellent little micro(uATX) case. The E revision is pretty much the best one as it has the most features and unlike the later F revision and the SG02, it has a nearly full aluminum body, not just the front panel. This is back in the day when LianLi and Silverstone's mid to high end cases were full aluminum, rather than steel and plastic with some aluminum accents.
>>108490267
is frankenware sexy?
>>108477155bro I can *feel* those knobs just looking at the pic. so satisfying compared to touchscreen dogshit.
>>108479742The first time I riced out a device was running nova launcher to make my note 2 look like one of the sharp Evangelion phones
>>108490351pisses me off to no end what happened to nova
>>108490351I remember that. The sequel to the one I posted was an Android smartphone type but had the same sort of NERV theming. I remember the launcher's skin as well! I think the most recent Eva collab phone was some Oppo one, but only in China. Looks like Unit 01, pic related. There was also a smartwatch in Asuka / Unit 02 colors and poor Rei / Unit 00 just got wireless earbuds. >>108490360As I recall its a proprietary one. I think that Lawnchair is perhaps one of the best FOSS ones with capability on the same level as Nova back in the day and others with 'pro' variations.
>>108490021Keep considering making a model of a Cray with a Pi Zero in each of the segments but can't really think of any use of a Pi Zero cluster.
>>108490446i installed lawnchair through i think fdroid and i literally cannot uninstall it. i havent tried adb yet but i dont really care enough yet to try. i was very unimpressed by its features.>>108490510ooooo, thatd fit perfectly on a desk or a coffee table. i could see it being the main node in a light homelab, run it as a router/firewall/dns server/media server cache. it wouldnt be powerful at all, but itd be beautiful.
>>108490529>lawnchairCan't uninstall? That seems odd. Why can't you uninstall it? Did you use some sort of root mode install et? There's also a different playstore branch that I think conflicts or is limited in some ways because they need to gimp it to go along with PlayStore requirements. Make sure its the newest branches though. I know there are some on fdroid that are old V1 and V2 branches, where the latest ones are on Lawnchair3's bbase I think, but use numbered builds up to Lawnchair16 (which is in beta - the latest releases are in the 15.x versions)
>>108490809its version 15.Beta 1. appinfo is claiming it was downloaded from fennec which is probably what i did. ill probably just nuke it with adb whenever i care enough.
15.Beta 1
>>108480263Koss Phase maybe? or even the Phase 2+2 which has an entire controlpanel on the cord
>>108481676>Windows CEI've seen those PostPet devices on Yahoo auctions and I was interested in picking one up. I didn't know it could run on anything besides the custom software. (it was probably running CE to begin with, but still)
>>108477119The G-Shock looks p good as well, especially in the OG color scheme.
Wish we had more networking gear with the industrial design of the WRT54.
