Terminator 2
Was a pretty good winxp barebones from asus. If it was the model with the built in radio I would've kept it as is, but I rlly wanted a nice case.
Transfered all the internals from the crate over to here, had to weld a new backing plate into the case but it cleaned up rlly well and the stock front i/o even still works
Current specs include an i7-7700, rx 5600, and 16gb ram

Milk Crate [disassembled]
Gaming PC; editing rig; former main desktop for about 5 years. 'twas an upgrade in order to handle shaders minecraft and not explode my framerate. Reverse motherboard so there's more ports available in the front.
Extreme airflow case with everything zip tied in (except the doorbell power button, that's held in with drywall screws.) None of the hard drives are secured and there is 3 or 4 of them depending on if the dvd drive is plugged in. Custom lighting to get ahead of the RGB trend.
Sorry I'm not making the background of this one transparent

Deltagold
I've been obsessed with this system for quite a while. It's just some IBM clone but it's lack of historical documentation and mysterious end to the company has always got me hooked to try to figure out more.
It's got the best keyboard switches I've ever felt (off brand alps blue) and an amber monochrome display. Read my entire research and history with the machine here. Also I really gotta remember to take some more photos of this thing

Commodore SX-64
My 23lb portable computer. Bought for $10 with a broken chip, replaced the chip for $10, works perfectly now. Even brought it to school a few times to play some things like tetris. Also have some accessories such as a drawing tablet, mouse, joystick, and printer

Tandy trs-80 [SOLD]
Laptop. runs off of 4 double As, just like a gameboy. would almost be a fun typewriter replacement if I could find a printer for it too. Also has some really weird linear alps switches

iMac G3
One of the cooler looking computers I got, though I don't really have a way to get files to it. Came with a disc for kid pix tho, callback to playing that in the elementary when the whole lab was full of these

IBM 5150
Aquired locally. Accidentaly blew up a capacitor an a very rare ram card and theres a few other problems such as a bad disk drive controller and at one point needing a new powers supply.
Came with a rare "baby" system/36 with printer and documentation for both. Also included branding for farmers insurance even with a "farmer's master system" diskette

Apple IIe [SOLD]
One of my nicer condition computers and as far as I can tell it works perfectly. Has the double disk drive unit even though I only have one apple formatted disk to test it out with. Would probably be the first to sell as there's not much I really want or can do with it.
At one point there was a pop and some smoke came out the keyboard though after opening it up I could not find any trace of a cap or anything exploding, and it did not impair functionality.
