@violenceworks made our rats a tiny vintage computer and monitor.

They mainly use it for games and Windows Movie Maker.

@kscottz @violenceworks I really miss our rats. Been many many years now:(

So who is viewing that Viewsonic?

Also those small cases look fantastic. The old school ones had so much charm.

@kscottz @violenceworks are there lots for monitors that small? I sure would like to give them a go

@kscottz @violenceworks
Lovely users, could cuddle them all day.  

But now you got me intrigued, where did you get the STL files from? πŸ₯Ί

@bastetfurry @kscottz

I made it. Found a tiny, high-res LCD on Aliexpress, made a 3D printable shell for it. I'll publish all of this in a bit.

@kscottz @violenceworks The ViewSonic logo is what really makes it.

@kscottz @violenceworks
Man, I'd love to have that. I always wanted a third monitor for my PC that looked retro. I was going to go get one of the replica macintoshes with an LCD in it from AliExpress, but the reviews aren't great. apparently the power supply is pretty poor.

If I knew anything about electrical engineering, I might have got one and tried to put a better power supply in it. The pc inside it is apparently mini-ITX, so I might be able to use a molex to power it, who knows.

@kscottz @violenceworks A BeBox! Been decades since I saw one of them.
@deKay Purportedly only 1000 BeBoxes were ever manufactured. They are rare. @kscottz @violenceworks
@kscottz @violenceworks I'm not sure what's cuter, the rats or their PC!
@kscottz @violenceworks Rats of Doom (in the absolute best way possible)
@kscottz @violenceworks Uuuh, the legendary X68000! Such a fascinating system! πŸ™‚

@kscottz @violenceworks wait where did you get that BeOS case???

Do want!

Image 2: a rat next to the same tiny CRT, this time running Doom, with two SBCs next to it in cases that look like an X68000 and a BeBox

@kscottz @violenceworks

@kscottz @violenceworks That’s great, is the monitor 3D printed? Would you mind sharing the STL?
@foone A mini CRT and a mini X68000? Nice!
@kscottz @violenceworks That is so amazingly cute!!! πŸ˜β€‹
@kscottz @violenceworks Well, that's just ADORABLE! ❀️

@kscottz @violenceworks *GASP* A BeBox!

The world needs to know: do the Blinkenlights work???

@baralheia @kscottz

Yes, the blinkenlights are controlled by the Pi through an I2C GPIO expander. Currently, both sides just display the total CPU percentage. There are four cores on the Pi so I can't make each side be a single core. Well, I could, but I'd be missing half the cores.

@kscottz @violenceworks is there some sort rat/mouse based doom wad you could put on ?

@kscottz @violenceworks What movies do rats make with their tiny computer?

DO THEY ALSO HAVE TINY CAMERAS AND RECORDING EQUIPMENT?

Imagine a rat anchor in a tiny suit delivering the rat news...
