What is the most exotic piece of computer/electronic hardware you own?

[Kaido]

I had a G4 Cube. It was pretty neat. Recently sold it though 🙁

 

[giantpinkbunnyhead]

Um...

Atari 2600, paddles included, and about 80 games;

that's about it. Pretty basic.

Booted first time in 7 years and it had the correct time +7 minutes. Asked me if I wanted to do a Retrospect Backup since it hadn't run in some two thousand days.

And a Hauppauge WinTV Tuner. From 1996. ISA.

I have something similar to that. It's a shame that I have to ask at such a late time, but did you manage to find XP drivers for that thing?

It's in a PIII machine with not a lot of RAM...which reminds me: I need some ram for that machine 🙁

Got an old ATI Rage Fury Maxx vid card with dual processors on it. They stopped support for it when 2000 and XP came out because supposedly they couldn't deal with a dual proc vid card. Now we have SLI though, so I think ATI was blowing smoke up my butt.

I've got 8 of those that I paid over $400 for🙁 in the early nineties

I have a Vectrex game system with 4-5 games and "screens".

Probably the most "exotic" item I can think of at the moment.

 

[Fenixgoon]

voodoo 5500 PCI - 64mb of ram and onboard SLI, baby!

 

[RadiclDreamer]

Voodoo 5 5500

I have a box of Commodore Vic 20s somewhere at my parent's house. I also have a timex sinclair (non-working), and a bunch of random systems C64, Amiga 500, some TIs, etc...

A fancy HP monitor.

Not just because its expensive, but despite getting excellent reviews, I dont know of anybody that has one besides myself.

Also have a Silverstone Temjin Case and I dont know of anybody else with one.
Had an HP LaserJet 1000 and (up until the movers broke it) the thing worked great for many years.
Despite the effieciency and quality of low-end lasers, I dont know anybody else that has one. At work we use mid range lasers and at home it seems most folks try to outdo each other with more and more expensive inkjets.

I have a purple SGI Indigo2 Maximum Impact. I bought it for considerably less than the roughly $50,000 they cost new almost 10 years ago.

On the note of displays that many people don't have: I have a Nokia display (CRT) and a Philips touchscreen (with the touchscreen interface by elo).

I dont have the box but I have the palyer and the cords! Any chance you still have the drivers?

You should just be able to fill a CF card with the mp3's you want to watch (usb card reader?) and be good to go without drivers if I remember correctly...

It uses Smart Media card. Remember those? lol

Now I know I'm old.

Well, two relitively rare items.

1) Compaq Portable II. Lugabout, one of the first "Laptops". No battery, orange/black plasma display, 2 5 1/4 floppy drives, no HD. Still boots. And the case is awesome for lanparty usage.

2) Logitech iTouch Mouseman. Force feedback mouse. It was AWESOME. But then I fell in love with the MX700/1000.
