Don’t take the case apart too often but was doing some maintenance so seemed like a good time to take some photos lol. It’s a custom workstation tower. It originally came with an Orchid card and tons of ram. I actually dubbed it down some since in use it for DOS gaming. 486DX2, S3 VLB graphics, 16mb of ram, and a SB Pro 2. All SCSI, dual height HD and an 8Plex.

The variety of AT towers and mini towers that were produced in the late '80s and '90s never ceases to amaze me. This hobby has been part of my life for nearly 40 years, and I still see new designs I've never seen before.

It’s a really cool monitor. Found it at an estate sale and I’ll never get rid of it. 1992 MAG professional monitor. It has vga, apple vga, and BNC inputs. Hardware buttons for all adjustments and the resolution/refresh LCD. Inside it has a fully shielded all metal chassis, never seen anything like it. Sharp bright picture too.
