@claude24h Thanks!!!

@RetroTechChris 세척을 깔끔하게 잘하셨네요.

I finished retr0briting my final Compaq Armada 7700 series keyboard. It turned out GREAT! Putting it back on the stack with the other Armada 7700's... we'll be exploring more about them soon!

Alright, well, this has been fun. But it is super late, so I better press pause for today. I do like this system.. it is a little on the rough side though, so I think it'll go into "someone else's" collection when the time is right. Thx for reading! @threadreaderapp unroll

The final thing I did was swapping out the Modem for a PCI network card. We'll have to get all of this configured later for sure. Oh.. did I mention that this computer has a Sound Blaster AWE64? It's the value edition, but still pretty cool!

Let's explore my second $3.33 Packard Bell that I bought at the System Source Warehouse Sale on Saturday. This one is a Packard Bell Legend 2440 Pentium 75MHz system, and, well.. it had quite the transformation 😂 Let's talk about it in a 🧵

@MattBytesRetro LOL, not sure about the reliability of that one!

@RetroTechChris Guess there’s this…

So there you have it, my Packard Bell Legend 11CD. Next up will be installing software and the like, but I think that will do it for now. What a fun little 486, and it's my first Packard Bell 486 system. Thanks for following along! @threadreaderapp unroll

I did some cable management too! Did I mention that this system has the PB450 motherboard? It's a nice one, with primary and secondary IDE, and native support for LBA drives. I think this system will stay in the collection!

I've really been meaning to dive into these two $3.33 Packard Bells since getting them on Saturday! Let's have a look at the one on the top, a Legend 11CD 486DX2/50 system. After some restoration, I'm in love with it 😂. Time for a quick 🧵
