Every era at warp speed

My collection focuses on high-end computers and game consoles from the late 1970s through the 2000s. I restore each machine and then upgrade it, usually to the maximum configuration of its era using period-appropriate hardware, and sometimes modern components.

The collection is the historical side of the lab’s work. I use the same bench to restore and upgrade the best hardware of earlier decades, exploring each machine’s limits while keeping it in working order.

A full inventory will follow. For now, the photographs below show the collection as it is currently shelved.
