Taking a short break so as usual I’m having a sale. 😎

Got a fresh @geekenspiel.bsky.social order in for my upgraded 8600!

Thanks for all the support in 2025! 👍🏼

@geekenspiel.bsky.social #retrocomputing Great case stickers. Unfortunately the FLP02 doesn't really have a spot for them near the bottom of the case. The top will do.

Happy Holidays, everyone! ✨

Customer order. This screams FLP01/02 build to me. ✨

Celebrating the Xbox 360's 20th anniversary on LGR! youtu.be/hlnbsRz6E2Y Opening a boxed and unused Xbox 360! They released it two decades ago now, so this was the perfect time to unbox a 60GB Pro model, set it up, enjoy the Blades, and play some games. While HOPEFULLY avoiding red rings. Jump in!

The absolute movie poster master. RIP, Drew.

Getting some Commodore 64 time in today!

The guts of my Win95 pc I’ll be using at Geekenspiel: Four Corners: FIC 503+ SS7 mobo Pentium 233 128MB RAM Matrox Millennium 2 8MB Diamond Monster 3D (nos) SB 16 (CT2900) NEX XR385 (Yamaha XG) midi db 4GB SD card for boot drive 30GB Fireball for storage (nos)

Pretty neat Intel Pentium commercial. Forgive the quality - I’m recording it straight off my 1985 Fisher TV. This commercial aired May 23rd, 1994 with Star Trek: The Next Generation “All Good Things Pt 1” which I have recorded on VHS on that date. ✨

Here's the next PC I'll be adding to my retro setup at th Geekenspiel Four Corners office. ✨ Specs soon…

Probably more excited about his than I should be: finally upgrading the GPU in my 2017 PC (it was recently replaced by a new primary build). Out with the 1060 and in with the 3060ti. 😅 (i7-7700, 32GB RAM)

Not a computer or a sticker but rather a sublime display of beauty at the end of my driveway yesterday…, ✨

A little more detail on my 486 machine: AMD DX4-120 32mb RAM ATi Mach64 ISA 4mb Orpheus II w Dreamblaster X16

My little retro setup at the Geekenspiel Four Corners office is coming along nicely!

What Radeon card you think they’d be using in this Win Me Y2K era build?

This old Fisher TV makes a pretty serviceable Commodore 64 monitor, among other things…

Kind of an interesting Goodwill find over the weekend. Still need to test though.

Finally had a chance to crack open the Sega CD and replace the system battery and the drive belt. ✨

Limited Edition. ✨

HUGE thanks to everyone who stopped by my booth this weekend at VCFMW! This was the crowd waiting for me to draw the winning number for the mini Win98 PC. 😎

All set up! Come by and say hi if you’re here!

Oh you’ll definitely remember now.

Giving away this beautiful little Win98 pc on Saturday at VCFMW. If you’re there, stop by my booth and grab a ticket for the drawing! 🎟️

I’ll be at VCFMW this weekend so if you’re there, stop by and say hi! I’ll be giving away a Win98 pc and have some fun stuff for sale. ✨

The humble beginnings of a retro corner in the office of Geekenspiel North… 😎

🎂

Fulfilling orders remotely for a couple of weeks but it’s still business as usual! ✨

Ah, if only… ✨

Good evening all, a big announcement! Kytor DC power adapters are now available on Console5 and the direct store, including the elusive Triad to SNES adapter and Sega Genesis (1 & 2) Tower of Power cables. These are extremely high quality 18 awg copper cables. Links below!

The cobbler is finally getting some new shoes. ✨ Ol’ hooptie circa 2017 on the left, new hotness on the right.

Shoutout to @geekenspiel.bsky.social for existing and making my rig geekier and adding 5 fps more to Quake 3 and Halo CE 😌

This a chonky boy right here. So chonky in fact that it won’t fit in my Fractal North case. 🫠 North XL ordered…

Time to get to work on my first modern build in 8 years... 😬

Currently a WIP but as I usually do, I’ll be giving away a simple Win98 gaming setup at VCFMW this year. Amazing how much time you can put into a “simple” setup… 🙄

This was originally a Brick Multistation (Brick was a common OEM brand in Norway in the 1990s). Yellowed beyond repair, but I found some drives that matched it quite well. Stickers from @geekenspiel.bsky.social adds the final touch! Classic MS-DOS gaming in progress!

Taking a little summer vacay so… it’s time for a SALE! 😎

It’s retro-brite season! ☀️🔥☀️

Sadly I think this 850MHz slot A is ded. 💀

Everyone’s talking about the sequel and I’m still stuck on the prequel… 😍

Get ‘em while they’re hot (or not?)… 🤔

Spending a few days in NYC… ✨

Me build vibes... ✨

So fun revisiting these but I feel like it’s definitely harder to see them than it was in my 20s & 30s ✨👀

Doing some work on the Nvidia Trade Show PC to add a SATA dock to the front so I can quickly swap OS drives. (Shoutout to @geekenspiel.bsky.social for the Nvidia sticker for the front, really ties it together!)

Definitely the right price. 😎 Yes, I bought it. 👍🏼

Everything old is new again… 🤩
