Title: Post your old Desktops / Battlestations!
Post by: madhias on Thu, 26 February 2015, 14:55:07
I found some slides with old pictures from one of my first battlestation setups. I am not proud of it, but it is funny that even back then I made pictures of my setups.

I did not even had my own gaming PC in this pic, but had to use the one from my father upstairs... That chair looks comfy.

I don't remember which notebook that was! But for sure very heavy :)

Played these games, or at least that were some originals to show off!

And now to the strange parts of it. There was an image of Kurt Cobain...

...and also a big ton from 'The Land Before Time' :eek:

This is for old setups though.  :P  To look back and remember the simpler times...

The nostalgia! Look, CD drives. A nearly extinct species!

I can't find any older photos. Here's some setups from a couple of years ago.

A few 360 shots from a massive lan party I had with about 30 friends. Not super old but still fairly old. My old rig is in the background of the second pic.

Circa 2008.  I played with computers when I was younger (late 80s), but much preferred the simplicity of consoles at that time.  Also, my Moms computer was more suited for documents than gaming.  I didn`t get back into computers until 2008.

I have a spread from a self-made magazine for a university project that contains an image like baldgye's above (made up from like 15 or 20 pictures) from around 2001 or 2002. I gotta take a picture of that - who has a scanner anymore!?

Anyway, that shall be posted when I can find the magazine in my moving stuff.

Whee!

This is the oldest complete photo I am aware of that I possess, from June 2004, showing my Motorola StarMax 4000/200 Mac clone (Motorola PowerPC 604e 200 MHz, 144 MB), and my Packard Bell Executive 486, taken with a friend's camera:

I still have two small crops of two older photos from 2002, but the originals seem to be lost.

This is a bit later, from March 2005 (still not my camera yet):

[attachimg=2]

I've got my Macintosh Classic set up there (it was set up with a SCSI NIC), and my "new" Techies Pentium II 333 MHz PC with what I'm assuming was a Dell SK-1000REW QuietKey (unconfirmed — I think it was one of the ones without "QuietKey" written on it, and it died so many years back that I don't have it to confirm the model number).
