Cheap ass HP case

I’ve been needing a dedicated desktop computer for a while because my original virtual pinball machines PC died. I picked this up used locally for $550, which I though was a fair price for used couple year old components.
 
Couple of pretty pricey "furniture nuts", with taxes and freight abt 30€/piece.

Drawbar fixings for speaker resto project. These seem to be made of unobtainium, so beggars can't be choosers.
 
I got an SD2IEC and an Epyx Fastload cart for my C64, allowing me to effectively load most programs directly from an SD card pretending to be a cassette drive, and the Fastload ram can speed up most programs to load in a matter of seconds instead of minutes.

Now I just need to get that better video cable that's in the mail already, a new power supply to replace the original ones, and a set of caps to finish everything up proper.
 
I bought another PC lol. This one is a Dell Optiplex SFF with 16Gb of unknown RAM, 4Tb of SSD storage, a 5th gen i5 running at 2.8Ghz, and a nVidia/Gigabyte 1030 GT small form factor. The SSD pictured has been replaced with a 2Tb drive.

$100 from a friend.

It should do as a replacement for my arcade MAME cabinet that’s still using a Core2Duo with 4Gb of RAM on XP.

I'm starting a Nintendo Power collection, starting with three issues from December 2006, October 2007 and April 2009.
Hey, the Nintendo Land bot...that brings back some good memories; thanks, boot3.

Anyway, as for your actual post - more Power to ya! Hopefully you get the rest someday.

Nintendo Land was so good, they seriously need to find a way to utilize Monita again, she's so underrated.

Anyway thanks! I'm mainly going for issues publishing during the mid to late 2000s at the moment.
 
It comes by airplane but as almost every AliExpress junk the description wasn't correct, on description was 3 frontal bays but the frontal panel only allows 1 device :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

Tomorrow will be the Dremel festival in order to try to use that case

Was on a lightning deal, quality is "ok", feels a bit cheap in areas mainly the shackle body, but $41 for a u lock + folding lock + braided steel cable, its a pretty good deal
Might update the u lock later on for a kryptonite evo, wouldnt bother with the keeper or the kryptolock, metal is too soft
