Messing with the CGA output on my Amstrad PPC512
This time last year I bought 16GB DDR4 3200MHz for £24.99, today I'm pricing up another PC and the same RAM is £89.99 - WTH happened this year? 😲

Amstrad PPC512 - NEC V30 (8088) Powered Portable from 1987.
(Bit of a screen issue, which I'll either try to repair, mod or replace/upgrade).
Pretty cool to have another machine to play with, my PPC640 is pristine, has the backpack, original disks so great to keep as it is.

I'm re-creating my 3rd ever PC, an AMD Athlon K7 Slot A with Voodoo 3 3000 and a Soundblaster Live and Live Drive.
This is going to be a blast, the journey begins here.

So, in December I will be rebuilding from scratch the third PC I ever owned, back when I was a teen.
An AMD Athlon K7 Slot A PC, with a Voodoo 3 3000, Soundblaster Live with Live Drive and a huge, two foot tall case.
My original MB that I'll be recapping with Rubycon's:
