I finally got around to taking some photos of the warehouse where my
collection is stored (along with my friend's arcade game collection
and a computer recycling outfit). Most of my stuff isn't really in
good "show" condition right now as I'm trying to organize my friend's
arcade machines and my space is temporarily filled with some of his
overflow stuff to make holes so I can move machines around. At any
rate, you can get a good view of my Tektronix storage tube terminals
and my wall of sgi. Also, there are some photos of the Eve cabinets
for Jos Dreesen. Sorry, just one side of the exterior of the cabinets
for now, board photos to come later when things aren't so cramped.

Those arcade machines look nice, does he play them at all? And you have
quite a few SGI machines.

The ones that he plays regularly are not stored at the warehouse :-).
The warehouse isn't really wired with sufficient power for these and a
number of these need some repairs before they would function again.
Some need minor repair, some need major repair.
And you have quite a few SGI machines.
Yes, I'm in the same boat when it comes to power. If we already had
appropriate power and HVAC in this location, I'd have made the
machines operational again. However, we currently rent this place and
we are looking to move to a location where we are buying and not
renting. At that point I would consider investments in
infrastructure, but I don't feel like improving a place we're just
going to leave anyway.

Wow! The SGI section makes me drool a bit. Do you have the skins for
your Crimson and Challenge desksides? If you don't mind I'll forward
this link to the nekochan forums.
The minirack with 9-track tape and RX-80, is it a round hole rack? And
if so, where can I get one?
The Aesthedes 2D system looks impressive, it has an Apple apple on it,
can you tell us more about it?
Thanks for sharing,
Pontus.

I picked it up in an equipment waterfall process from an employer.
I imagine you can get them commercially or on ebay. Its nothing
special. It does have wheels, so that's nice.

The apple sticker was just placed on there; it has nothing to do with
apple. Its a vertical market turnkey system for 2D graphic design
from the mid 1980s.
