Collection Update
🕑 Added 2022-04-21 04:07:58 +0000 UTCI've heard that a couple of the XServes are packed up for delivery to this loaction, as well as a noise reduction server enclosure, pictured above. More specifically, he says:
I have extracted the enclosure from where it was languishing and have it close to hand now.
I have the G5 and one Intel Xserve boxed up and ready to transport.
I will need to return with the Intel box so I can pack up the second Xserve for transport.
Still working on transferring data from it to new QNAP NAS.
Also boxing up whatever OS materials I can scrounge up around here. OS Server documentation, media and the like.
This sounds like a military operation!
Further, a local vintage Mac collector needed a monitor because his Apple Color Plus display had died. I had the same display sitting unused (and unloved) in a shed for 12 years. I brought it in and plugged it into my 8600. It worked! I was impressed for such a cheap display as this. Make no mistake, I will still make fun of the Apple Color Plus display, but with a modicum of respect.
He will use it to pair with his 660AV. He made a great point that using a 90's CRT monitor gives that authentic Mac experience he wouldn't trade for 1080p and 4K.

Yeah! I’m sure you can fix it. I’ve binge watched so much Adrian’s Digital Basement that I almost want to start buying broken CRTs off eBay to have a “crack” at fixing them myself ⚡️😳🤠

He did say the hard drives died after 14 years of spinning but nothing about the PSU. We shall see...

Awesome, I love my Xserves too. Good luck with the G5's PSU though, saying they are prone to die would be an understatement... ;)
