photos of computer setups

I have started collecting photos of "8-bit" computer set ups. I think it is fascinating to see the places where all kinds of computer magic happens/happened. I am mostly interested in home settings - rooms from any time and any place. Demoscene relation is good but not necessary, hi-res photos are preferred (with credits), informative texts and and stories is excellent.

Possibly, this is something that would be published aswell.
With a collection like this it is possible to see what was behind all those screen, to contextualize digital works with a physical place. Postdigital, as the theorists say. We wanna see your data office!

Spread the word! If you are interested, or just have some links and input, please post here or e-mail info@goto80.com. Or bring them to LCP! :) Thanks!

Sorry Frantic, I only use the real thing for viewing stuff, when I occasionally do something I use the PC - I'll snap a picture of my Commodore stash for you, but I wouldn't call a bunch of computers tucked away a setup ;)

Nice. But I hope you don't have a fire since all that stuff is in front of your door.

Cool. You're doing it at work? I wouldn't dare to leave a C64 in the office... ;)
But it seems that the PS3 devkit is a really good base to rest the breadbox on... ;)

No worries, that´s the second door (which I never use) leading to the garden.

ok,ok
I'm still working on it, but here's my latest status on my BASEMENT-MISSION-CONTROL-AND-OPERATION-CENTER (hopefully I can test my pixels on old and new luma VICs now)
so what we have here is:


from left
A4000/40(with GVP Spectrum II), A1200/30 25MHz, C64c+1541II, C64('83 made in England), C=1084, C64 (85 made in Germany)+1541(nice old one), C+4 (my latest precious), C64g
C128d and C128 that I bought from Mace are still in boxes and I cant find them after I moved to this place.

All computer are working fine.
The collection will grow hopefully, but what is urgent now for me are the monitors or TVs so I can run all of them at the same time ;)
