Two Canon Notejet laptops, two Epson 486 tablet computers, one Pentium II laptop (power supplies dead for all laptops), one Pentium III-era Celeron (I think) dektop, books, software, floppy disks, loads of newer parts and peripherals. Still sorting through everything. Free for pick-up in...

All items are too heavy and fragile to ship, so they're pick-up from Lakeland, FL only. $50 Power Mac 5500/250, upgraded RAM, video in/out upgrade, disk error. Keyboard and mouse included. $100 Compaq Deskpro 286 w/ green and amber monochrome monitors, sound card installed, 2.125MB RAM (I...

Bought it a couple years ago to replace my NEC dot matrix printer, but never got around to even testing it. It's dumping foam dust everywhere and I want it gone. Pick up from Lakeland, FL only.

If not, can I remove a PLCC without a special tool?

I didn't see a section for Power Macs and I don't think this is old enough to qualify as vintage yet, so I thought I'd post here. I picked one of these up yesterday for $75. Our teacher had one of these back in the 90s, though it was probably the Performa variant since it was a school computer...

I bought a six-pack of ribbons for my NEC Pinwriter 5200 from Amazon, and they're all dried out. Is there anyway I can re-ink them?

I bought an antique desk lamp yesterday, and it's just too darn bright. What's the dimmest bulb I can buy?

How do I load paper into an IBM Personal Computer Color Printer? Does it go in the front? How do I advance the paper? I don't see a platen knob.

Anyone know how much it's worth? I've seen other old versions for sale for sizable sums. I have all the floppy disks, but no manuals or box.

I spotted these on eBay: 261124916665 251180616805 They look pretty spiffy, even though they've got Cyrix chips in them. I guess you can't win 'em all.

Just as a thought experiment, would you buy a PCIe card that allows you to run DOS programs without software emulation in a modern PC (sort of a system on a card)? If so, how much would you pay, and what features might it have?

I have a Sony video monitor attached to a computer via S-Video, but all I get is this scrambled picture. It was working before I moved the system, and a normal TV works with the computer now. I've tried moving the video cable to another input port on the monitor, and switching the monitor to...

I hate to do this, but bills come before computers. I'll give 'em a week or two before hitting the 'Bay. Prices don't include shipping. C64 in box with matching numbers and manual. Bad memory, but works otherwise. $30 Commodore 64G. Beige keyboard/case and green power light. One of...

It's finally finished! Well, not entirely, but it's in a playable state, now. I took video:http://youtu.be/CH5WLj2eltk

Not sure how many here follow E3, but Star Wars 1313 had an amazing showing. Given another 10 years or so, we might have truly photo-realistic games on our personal computers.

My main computer (a quad-core AMD Phenom II) has been BSODing and rebooting during games, lately. It started doing it sooner and sooner, and now the computer gets stuck in a reboot loop while loading both WinXP and Win7 (I have a dual boot setup). I blew all the dust out of it a short while...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/370587059203?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 (Warning: may take forever to load.) Why would anyone buy a model and not the real thing? They're not terribly rare.

It's all in the title.

Pref. mushroom shaped. I plan to use it on an arcade control panel. I've done exhaustive Google image and eBay searches and turned up nothing, so I thought I might check here for some leads.
