Ice Breaker
It's been a long time since I updated pictures of the computer room - last ones I think were like 4 years ago or so. So.. without further adieu, here's a bunch of pics. #bbs #commodore #tandy #apple #retrocomputing #computers #computerroom #sinclair #hamradio #amiga

@particlesbbs Lovely!!! And I especially appreciate that people like you exist to justify my position that I have a small computer collection 🤣

@particlesbbs (My current count is 38 machines)

@48kRAM It's not small, it's how you use it :). I'm trying to stay under the 'hoarding' line.

@particlesbbs I take Trixter's definition:

If you know where everything you own is, and can put your hands on it in 5 minutes, you're not a hoarder.

(Or something like that)

@particlesbbs I've set a few platform restrictions: No Macs, no weird Japanese machines. Those are rabbit holes I can't afford to go down. And no duplicates, but I've violated that one for my Atari 800XLs. (I wanna have spares though)

@48kRAM I told myself no weird Japanese machines besides an MSX, and well.. if you look close, there's a Sharp MZ-711...
Show thread48kRAM but with parity17h ago
@particlesbbs I did notice that already :)

@48kRAM @particlesbbs Sharp MZ isn't that weird...

@particlesbbs That red C64C is Dallas case right? Did you paint it to have more deeper colour? Because I did.

@particlesbbs That is one hell of a setup!

I love how so much of it is hooked up but also has room to breathe. It's not overly crowded like some setups are. The continuous paper printout up on the wall is also a nice touch.

The only fail that I see is the Atari ST is currently up on the shelf instead of hooked up to a monitor. 😉

@Judeau I want to hook up my STe or Mega ST but I just have no room! The kid moves out this year so maybe I'll take over her room...

@particlesbbs Haha! I love it! 😂

@particlesbbs That's not just a computer room, it's a museum. 🥹
