My thinkpads and desktop
My thinkpads and desktop
There they are. From right to left. IBM T42, IBM T61 and then there's the computer I bought by mistake (shame on me) HP TC4400. One must have enough computers to surf in the intterwebz without too many tabs
Those are the machines I currently have in use. Old T2x and 600x are currently in use only as decorative objects. I think neither of them even have working operating system in them atm
What do you think?

Re: My thinkpads and desktop
Nice looking setup! Is the desktop monitor connector to anything? And those speakers! Got to be the largest PC speakers I've ever seen! Are they custom made? (I used to be an amateur speaker builder before I got caught up in ThinkPads...)

OMG, this 12.1" XGA tablet weighs 4.6 lb!!! I don't think I have ever come across a heavier tablet! I agree this purchase was a mistake.

Re: My thinkpads and desktop
The T42 looks very nice!
Re: My thinkpads and desktop
Yeah the speakers are custom made from 1980s (1x tweeter, 2x midway elements and 1x bass element in each. They did cost a small fortune back in the days and are still very usable and they do have very pleasant and warm sound compared to many other more expensive speakers i've encountered) (the amplifier is 2x50W tube amplifier which isnt shown in the picture) The desktop monitor is currently connected to my desktop rig which isnt in the picture either.Neil wrote:Nice looking setup!

Indeed, its quite heavy - however it was a very powerful machine when i bought it (T7200 cpu). Still quite usable as the weight isnt really a problem for me - size is. I currently use it only as my travel computer.pianowizard wrote:

Re: My thinkpads and desktop
nice, love your reference speakers. I think the only thing you need now, is a slightly larger computer desk. Because you obviously have too many equipments.
Current ThinkPad: T430u, T430s, X1 Carbon, X1, X230t, X220t, X230, X220, X201t, W520, W701ds, T500, T420 and many more
Re: My thinkpads and desktop
This is just a temporary setup during this summer (I'm currently living at my parents due the too long distance from my home to work, but I'm back at home from 1st sept). At home i have way larger desktop with enough space for all my five laptops + 2x24" monitors to attach them .lead_org wrote:nice, love your reference speakers.
