I wasnt sure if you had posted this yet. I happened to come across it on You Tube. I watched it like 5 times! I love your display. Instead of hidden in boxes they can be enjoyed!!!!!!!!!

Heh heh heh thats a great video, with the King playing in the backround and i agree with you Windmiller, they should be displayed and enjoyed by everyone. Some people that come to my house dont have a clue what a cpu even looks like all they know is thats the little bugger that lets them enjoy thier porn and games on thier comps, when they come here thay can actually see whats driving thier machines. Even the clueless ones appreciate the complex beauty of them when they are displayed in the open.

thank you very much. i also love this display. it is mine and it was very much work to do this! many people were here in my home to look at this small museum. i have a own room only for my chips and computers.
i took "the king" for this video because of the great history of both (vintage chips and great music from the king)

Thanks! |
I have a few cpus, only 170 now and I want to look at them, so I don't like tool chest or storage drawers. So I use a dashboard (cm 12x40x6) like those for the gadgets from Kinder eggs, in a stack one over the other.
At 400 cpus I think I'll fill all the space on the wall, and I'll think to a new solution (perchaps a deeper dashboard, undivided and with many shelfs .. shelfes .. shelves ... arghhh my ugly english!! ), but now it is ok.
I collect Fiat Panda models too |

As an old typographer I decided to use this for my single chips:-)
I will work on a similar solution for boards soon.
... even though there are no "modern chips" in there lol (ok, one or two exceptions) |

wepwawet,
I am trying to put together different variations of this chip and am curious as to what the verbage is on the chip that I have circled? Is it AMI or Burroughs logo or something else and if so does the second line say 3180?
Sorry for straying offcourse. |

Very nice display! Did all of your chips found a place in this typographer?
That's now sure, I'll add a Collector's Storage Gallery section on my website

Hehe,
"typographer" is the name of the job, not of the box.
That is a "Setzkasten", a typecase that contained plumb letters many decades ago:-=
not by far, but the most interesting and valuable single chips are here.
I think showing paper boxes and metal shelfs have been posted enough:-)
btw, I also didn't get my computer collection squeezed in here:-)

I think that we have two categories:
1. how do you store your cpus
2. how do you display your cpus
Many of us try to have cross-types, I have mine stored in boxes as I don't have much space, and I can't find a satisfactory way of properly displaying them.
The eye needs his part! |
