Welcome

This web page is a collection of information and experiences I have aquired over years of playing with tech.  There are no $400 video game systems to speak of here, nor $1000 computers.  Instead, this page is intended to show the interesting and unusual ways to use technology that is past its prime, low-end, or in any way accessible on a tinkerer's budget.

So I finally uploaded pics to the Dreamcast versus cable post under the Video Game section.  I was suprised to find, while looking up sources, that this page had already become the 4th highest result when performing a google search for "dreamcast vs cable".  Google baffles me.

My next post is going to be on Mac PCI video cards from the 1990s.  I need to decide which cards to include in the benchmarking though, and which benchmarks to use.  I currently have a Voodoo, a pair of Voodoo 2s, a Voodoo 3, Voodoo 5, ATI Rage128 and a Radeon 7000.  I'm trying to get a hold of some others, including a Radeon 9200 (which should blow the rest out of the water), a Formac Proformance 3, or a Voodoo Banshee (in the form of an ix3D "GameRocket").  Most of these are pricey or hard to find; the story of my life.  If anyone has a lead I would appreciate it.

Finally, I realise that there is a distinct lack of content on my SFF/Quiet computing page.  I have a few in the works, but it will be some time before I get the benchmarks and pics together for those.  In the meantime do visit SPCR. Despite its bad feed format, the site really is an incredible and unique resource.
