- im_down_w_otp 5y agoJust unrelenting hunting on Craigslist, eBay, and Facebook Marketplace. I think I got the PTPro on Craigslist. I actually have a PowerCenter 150 slim-profile Desktop (and a spare Sonnet G3 400/1M CPU upgrade for it) that's currently in storage. I haven't decided if I should try to find a good home for it yet. The PowerTower Pro replaced it in my office collection because I wanted a box I could cram full of esoteric tech: - Formac Proformance 3 (3DLabs Permedia3) - 12MB 3Dfx Voodoo2 - OrangePC 660 w/ K6-III - Digidesign Audiomedia III - ATTO Dual UltraSCSI - Sonnet Encore G4 800/1M CPU (which is both cool and also finicky as all get out) It's got one PCI slot left which I want to plop another Voodoo2 into for a vintage SLI setup. All that said, both my SE/30 and my 7100 are packed to the gills with even weirder toys. :-)
- azinman2 5y agoWhat do you even do with the OrangePC? I guess all of this is quite obsolete, but to run old windows on it?
- im_down_w_otp 5y agoWell, mostly I just like the novelty. I have a Radius Rocket 33 (68040) and an OrangePC 290 (Cyrix 5x86) in my 7100/80. It's kinda fun to play with a classic Mac a PPC Mac and a classic PC all in one box. I finally got them to run DOOM II bots against each other. The OrangePC 660 has an NVIDIA RIVA 128 on it, so I use it to play with old CAD/CAM software sometimes and it's kind of fun (similar to the 7100) to fire up some cross-platform games (e.g. Myth TFL/II, Quake 1/2, etc. and get the Mac side playing against the PC side). At the end of the day it's all just technological novelty and esoteria, of course.
