Your thoughts about late 80s/early 90s IBM "small office devices" aesthetics?
>>108803776I think they look neat :)
>>108803776I am a bit of a hipster for this sort of “no nonsense utilitarian” look.So I like this stuff.
>>108803813ps/2 is a bag of hurt
>>108803776That looks like the file server at my high school in '93. IIRC the computers we worked at had no storage. They network booted off the file server. Each student had a 1.44 MB floppy that held all our work.
>>108803821Same, understated industrial beats gaymur trash anytime.
I'd use it on a movie set for a film set in 1994.
>>108803776>>108803821The few things I ever modeled in CAD end up looking like 80s tech.I have a feeling there is a correlation with my general noobyness in CAD and the tools available in the late 70s early 80s
>>108803776horny af
>>108803776I would very much like a beige windowless pc case but without the stupid fake optical/floppy drives
it's superior
>>108803823PS/2 is at least much easier from a programmer's perspective. Our overreliance on USB is a major obstacle to developing new OSes.
>>108803941That combined with the limits of machine tool technology to produce the molds and other shit to manufacture the case parts.>t. Former machinist who mostly used machines from the early 90s.
>>108803776Peak industrial design for me.

>>108803776>small office devicesI don't think you quite grasp the size of that thing, it's not small in anyway.
>3, 2, 1, Let's jam
>>108803776Guy responsible for most of 80's and 90's IBM aesthetics.

Like the Redmond UI of that era, I can respect it but it's not particularly fancy / not very special.
>>108805558
>>108803776based and minimal but not in a bugman way in a tasteful wayo algo
>>108805589

Based ATX Brutalism enjoyers.

>>108803823My keyboard is PS/2. Problem?
>>108807154based. i had this one.
>>108804920>>108807115>>108807175Guys I think he's referring to the computer in OP's pic, not the mouse/keyboard port introduced by and named after it.
Love older, especially beige computers. Main reason I've bought both of the Silverstone FLP cases to put my computers in.
>>108803776I really like designs made of blocks and diagonals. This is the brutalism of computing, love it.
bump for good thread
>>108804920>>108807115>>108807175>zoomies don't know IBM PS/2 is an entire product line and group of technologies introduced by IBM as an proprietary extension to the IBM PC/AT, which included proprietary internal extension card bus, storage connector, graphics standard, and peripheral interface (the only part of the PS/2 spec that survived past mid 90s)
>>108808858>grandpa is talking about the war again
>>108803776I miss the industrial design of devices, both the 80's-90's IBM hardware and stuff like the WRT54G. Computers should look aggressive and heavy, not light and friendly.
