Some things to look forward to...

See Here...I like the Nixie Tubes showing 12:00, however wondering if its a functional clock or just stuck at 12:00 for looks.

I was thinking of taking a dead IBM 5150 and installing modern guts into it and make it look all original, but modern computing by modifying a 5.25" floppy drive to mount a slim DVD drive to the black floppy drive face and have what looks like a old 5.25" floppy drive that ACCEPTS CD and DVD's. I have a Toshiba Qosmio Laptop that has such a slim DVD Rom that ejects the disc out like CD players in car stereos eject them. I just haven't found an XT computer yet to do this to. I had a bunch of these XT's about 15 years ago when they were easy to find, but havent found one yet to alter. My one friend works at a non PROFIT computer recycle center and he has an eye open for one for me, but 99.9% of the stuff they get in there to rebuild or properly recycle are Pentium 3 and newer computers these days. He said he has seen them come through here in the past, but not lately.

So for now I am running modern guts in a 2003 Compaq case which is not as cool as a computer case that is 30 years old running modern.

A few MONTHS back I saw that SOMEONE was making Modern C64's with modern guts as linked: http://www.commodoreusa.net/cusa_c64.aspxIf you clik the Home tab top of the page it lists a few other projects...
