I'm new here, so thought I'd say Hi! and document my stash

[Performa450]

Hey all, I'm new here so thought I'd say hi!

I've been collecting for a few years, and I love macs. I initially had a small collection of Powerbook protos which I resold as I was living in a shared house at the time and needed the space.

Anyways, here's my current collection. I'll start with the more boring stuff:

* 500 Mhz Pismo, 1GB RAM, 100 GB HDD, G wireless. Original CD drive and battery working!

* Performa 450 (hasn't been booted for a few years. Hope the caps haven't died)

* 2x Prototype AirPort cards

* Apple Prototype Wireless keyboard

* Apple Prototype Wired Keyboard

* iPod 30GB Video DVT

* A few Nano prototype boards/enclosures/dev boards (pre-EVT thru to production)

* a few pre EVT boards of various descriptions (no idea what a few of them are, may post pics later)

* Prototype SE/30 logic board with XC CPU

* Prototype G4 Dual CPU logic board/DVT2 Dual CPU card/Prototype heatsink

* DVT iBook 500 logic board (needs a reball, as do I before I try that )

* Apple interactive TV box (British one from BT trial)

Happy to post a few pics if people would like to see those.

Welcome aboard!

Since you're new, please remember to take a look at the forum rules when you have time

That looks like a neat collection, from what I see! I guess you're mostly interested in prototypes, aren't you? I think you'll be pleased to meet Haplain then!
I definitely want to take a look at it, especially at the SE/30 logic board - I've never seen a 68030 XC processor out in the wild, it'd be definitely cool to see if the board itself has any difference from the one that entered production later.

Too bad for the gone PowerBook prototypes, they would have been cool to have nowadays.

I hope you'll have a happy staying here

Here's some shots of the SE/30 motherboard I took a few months ago.
I've been lurking for a while and seen your collection haplain - looks really impressive.
