It's been 10 years in the making...

Most of my vintage computer collection and cave.

I'm also a software junkie as you might see.

The 1st picture on the left is my vertical 5170. It's so clean I keep it in it's personal pink condom so it stays virus free. To the right top is my 5162 which has a 50MB MFM drive and runs DOS 6.22 and Win 3.1. Below is a tweener setup in a 5160 case w/Tyan Tomcat S1562D duel Pentium 233's and runs XP. On the right top is a stock 5160 w/20 MB MFM drive. Below Right is my 1st edition Model "A" 5150, it's stock w/ SSDD drives and I have the original BIOS.

1st I really need to thanks many of the members of this forum for their help fixing issues and educating me on vintage computers.

2nd I'm slightly organized but never neat.

3rd I love the projects that get started here. I hope they never stop.

Very nice. BTW, does your Boston Acoustic Subwoofer hum when plugged into power?
