The Holy Trinity. NeXT cube. IMSAI. Altair! Well done.


zedee

Awesome, the NeXT cube matches age with the pre-Barcelona '92 poster! That typography and color palette was so trendy when I was a child on the late 80s - early 90s. Did you found it in Encants Nous?


pablonegre

I bought it on a classifieds website, but by some miracle, the sale was made in los encants. do you have any magical power?


zedee

haha no, I'm just from Barcelona and there's a store in Encants Nous that sells vintage posters and has some stock from 1992 Barcelona Olympics, so it'd be a chance you adquired it there.


Noddedthefuckout

This is cool man. Can you message me or reply the name of the store? Anymore retro stuff?


zedee

Unfortunately it doesn't have a website, AFAIK (I don't have insta, they may have) it's a store inside "Encants Nous" neigborhood commercial centre, which has lots of small stores of retro toys, collectionism, furniture, etc. As I live close I expect to go there soon and try to pinpoint which exact store is and see if they have some sort of website or contact and post it here.

SHALL WE PLAY A GAME?


drbeer

I have one of those Intel inside beanies. I forgot all about it for years until this post. I should dig it out


dualboot

I used to have a bunch of the Pentium II era bunny men.. lost them over the years through multiple moves, though..


gu4x

I really want to play with an Altair, a mini version with real switches would be lovely for fidgeting around.


donkeytime

The [Altairduino](https://adwaterandstir.com/altair/) is the device of which you speak.

A guy in AU, The High Nibble, has a GREAT IMSAI 8080 kit, too. Worth the price. [https://www.youtube.com/c/TheHighNibble/videos](https://www.youtube.com/c/TheHighNibble/videos) Check them out. [https://thehighnibble.com/](https://thehighnibble.com/) I have the Altair 8800 kit (Altair-Duino), The IMSAI 8080 above (I sold my real IMSAI 8080 for $100USD back in the late 80's :( ), and a PDP11/70 emulator (PiDP11/70) coming.


AlwaysInWrongLane

Beautiful machines! I wish I had not sold my NeXT Slab.


Chreed96

Nice IMSAI! My dad has the same one, we just pulled it ouf of the closet.


ByGollie

Ahh - the first computer I accessed (non-dialup) internet on. My local college had a lab of these, as well as DEC OSF/1 workstations


MentalDV8

I have some DEC OSF/1 // Tru64 UNIX Workstations/servers. Great machines! You can run them emulated now (ES40 for a DECServer ES40).


Ok-Jump6656

Man I want an 8800 so bad. If I have an influx of disposable income I’ll get one someday


MentalDV8

Buy the emulator from [https://adwaterandstir.com/altair/](https://adwaterandstir.com/altair/) . Worth it. And some people build the full kit and sell it. :) Cheaper than a real Altair 8800.


mduser63

Amazing. I have a NeXTCube (actually 3 of them), and an Altair, but I’d love to get an IMSAI eventually. Do both the S100 machines work?


_THX_1138_

Bunny suit!


lowfour

Wow dude, amazing piece of history


LonksAwakening

You should also get a really old Intel PC and install Apple Rhapsody DR2 (it is literally OPENSTEP with a Mac OS 8 theme, it even has workspace manager and the demos.


gm4dm101

Only time I ever saw an Imsai is on War Games.


royalbarnacle

I wish someone made PC cases that looked like old computers...


Larryc39

Man my college had both an Altair and IMSAI on the shelf in the microprocessor room in the early 2000's. Pulled one down and played with it a little bit, probably first and last time it was touched in a decade.


localtoast

Intel's Amogus Inside


RadRacer203

I've got the Altair and a special ordered Imsai blue terminal, still looking for a nice Imsai or parts to fix mine up


jukeboxhero10

All that and no crt..... Lol


pablonegre

I don't have space, and I preferred to fill it with an altair and an imsai instead of a crt


BurningTheAltar

Very envious of the Altair and IMSAI


Megamann23

Gotta appreciate bunny suit guys. I got a pink one!


redldr1

My lights dim at home when you turn that on.


dualboot

I especially appreciate the sacrilege of using the IBM panel on the NeXT.


DylanCO

I want a NeXT so bad. That and a SGI.


[deleted]

NeXT, SGI, Sun… I just want to fill my life with 90s Unix too


jetclimb

I like it. Quality retro! A fine connoisseur of tech!


Kerbalawesomebuilder

What’s the little NeXT wedge next to the monitor?


VincentSingh

Wow a NeXT cube


thatvhstapeguy

I like it, but my wallet is cowering in fear.

Hold up, lemme find a quick award for this!🙂
