I like to power on my #CRT monitors every now and then. This graphite #imac #imacg3 still looks good, even if the camera made it look soft! #retromac #oldmac #powerpc #powerpcmac #vintagemac #2000snostalgia #nostalgia #oldcomputer #retrocomputer
A graphite iMac G3 displaying the About This Mac window on Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger. The system specs list a 500MHz PowerPC G3 processor and 512MB of SDRAM. The desktop wallpaper is a stylized map from Fallout 3, shown in shades of blue and black that glow vividly against the CRT screen. The iMac sits on a desk beside a Dell keyboard and another beige CRT monitor, with CDs stacked on the left and a dimly lit room with pink insulation and grey curtains in the background. The same iMac G3 running Mac OS X Tiger with a Finder window open, showing user folders such as Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Movies, Music, and Pictures. The CRT emits a bright glow. A white Apple keyboard is positioned in front of the iMac, and to the left, a stack of jewel-cased CDs and a shelving unit with electronics and cables are visible.

Oh snap! I'm finally getting back to work! I teased this video months ago, and I'm finally getting around to re-shooting it now that I have more space to actually do this properly. #videomaking #retropc #retrocomputer #pentium4 #shuttlexpc #oldpc #oldcomputer
A moody, retro-tech filming setup lit with nostalgic, dramatic cyan and magenta lighting. A beige IKEA desk is positioned against an unfinished wall with exposed insulation. On the desk sits a silver Shuttle XPC cube-style PC, illuminated with pink and blue light, in front of a Lenovo ThinkVision monitor. A pair of Logitech speakers, a wired keyboard, a black mouse, a network switch, and a Mac Mini are also on the desk. To the left is a purple desk lamp, and on both sides in front of the desk are two LED lights mounted on tripods, but only the tall cyan light stick and the purple desk lamp are turned on. A camera is set up on a tripod in front of the desk, aimed at the Shuttle PC. Underneath the desk sit a silver Power Mac G4 MDD and a Dell Optiplex tower. A close-up of the silver Shuttle XPC cube computer, dramatically lit with magenta and cyan lighting. The front panel features a DVD-ROM drive, a floppy drive, and front I/O ports including USB, audio jacks, and power/reset buttons. A classic blue Intel Pentium 4 “Intel Inside” sticker is visible in the lower right corner. The metal case has some wear and scratches, showing its age. The background is lightly out of focus and blurred, but still shows the black Lenovo monitor, desktop speakers, and the wall’s insulation behind the desk.

Oh, I forgot to show you some super nostalgic images of #windows2000 booting up! Yes, takes me right back! (and, between you and me? This computer's host name is Alpaca.)

A beige IBM CRT monitor sits atop a Compaq Deskpro EN desktop computer, both part of a retro computing setup. The screen displays the early boot screen of Windows 2000 Professional, showing the “Starting Windows…” text with a horizontal progress bar made of small blue rectangles. Below it reads: “For troubleshooting and advanced startup options for Windows 2000, press F8.” To the left are a few jewel cases for CDs, and to the right is a Logitech speaker and a Mac mini is just barely visible. The background features pink fiberglass insulation and a curtain. The same IBM CRT monitor and Compaq Deskpro EN are now shown further along in the boot process. The screen displays the Windows 2000 Professional splash screen, featuring the Windows flag logo and the text “Built on NT Technology.” A loading bar near the bottom reads “Starting up…” with a copyright notice below: “Copyright © 1985–1999 Microsoft Corporation.” The glow from the CRT adds a soft light to the otherwise dim workspace. The rest of the setup remains unchanged, including the CD cases, speakers, and nearby Mac mini.

Yep, I’ve got one of these too! It’s been a bit of a guinea pig for me, and has a dedicated video card in it (because I could). #compaq #compaqdeskpro #retrocomputing #vintagecomputer #retrocomputer #oldcomputer #windows2000 #crt #90snostalgia #2000snostalgia #bluescreen #deskpro #compaqdeskproen
A vintage PC setup shows a Compaq Deskpro EN desktop computer placed beneath an IBM CRT monitor, which is currently displaying the Windows 2000 Professional Setup screen. The setup is in the process of formatting a partition labeled C: New (Unformatted) with a size of 57,239MB, and the progress bar indicates it’s 51% complete. The familiar blue setup screen states: “Please wait while Setup formats the partition…” In front of the computer is a classic Dell QuietKey keyboard with gray and white keys, along with a generic beige two-button mouse resting on a black mousepad. A pair of Logitech desktop speakers is visible behind the keyboard on the right, next to a powered-off Lenovo ThinkVision monitor and another keyboard. The scene is set against a backdrop of unfinished walls with visible pink insulation, and the workspace has a cozy, retro-tech atmosphere. The CRT’s glow adds a nostalgic touch, capturing a moment familiar to anyone who installed Windows operating systems in the late 1990s or early 2000s.
