An SGI R8000 box, particularly a Power Indigo2 would be neat.
The design was unorthodox and quirky as shit, where MIPS chips were generally simple and fast-clocked (R4Ks hitting 200MHz by 1994), the R8000 only hit 75 MHz and was incredibly complex. If your problem fit into the 2MB cache you basically had a desktop supercomputer that could blow out a multi-million dollar Cray from only a few years ago.

But benchmarks as usual are a bunch of marketing bullshit, integer performance (which is what actually matters for 80% of even workstation tasks) was garbage, and even to reach those optimums you needed some real compiler voodoo and a level of autism nobody wanted to pay $46,000 base for the privilege of exercising, so nobody ever bought one outside of really niche scientific cases.

It also has a cool looking teal case and runs one of the best SysVs ever, that you can still actually use for stuff as long as you've got the disk space for it.

I want both a spectrum analyzer and network analyzer for my work bench. Both pieces of equipment are insanely expensive. Used 90s vintage spectrum analyzers seldom go for less than $1000 and getting a more modern one that'll go up to 20-30GHz can cost five figures easily.

Network analyzers are even worse. They can retail for more than a new car and even used still go for thousands of dollars. Way over my budget.
>>
>>60156237
Oh by the way, that $71,000 network analyzer is the CHEAPEST in that line. Most expensive is over $216,000.

Of course this equipment isn't intended to be sold to hobbyists, it's purely for businesses, which is why the price is so high.

Same, to get use out of a 1080 ti I'd need to dish out $300-400+ for a decent 1440p monitor. Just gonna say fuck it and buy an RX480, 580 or GTX 1060. I have a brand new build I7 7700K, Asus Strix Z270E gaming, Corsair LPX 16GB, 650W Evga G2, etc...

Also haven't bought an SSD yet because I'm considering getting either an MX300 or 960 EVO, since I have the correct M2 slots on my mobo.

But yeah I'll probably buy a $200 GPU and wait to buy a 4K monitor and best next generation/architecture most likely Nvidia GPU.

>I'm a Britbong so even if I find one, they might not even ship here
>Even if I got my hands on one I'm not sure if there are adaptors out there to make it work with PS/2 or USB

I've contacted Symbolics and RMS directly in case they could help me out as well.

>Stallman's response:

"Once Symbolics ripped apart my community, for two years I fought to
deny it the triumph it aimed to achieve by doing so. I refused to use
Symbolics machines, either then or subsequently. When the company
went bankrupt I considered that justice.

See the last chapter of Hackers, by Steve Levy, or my semiautobiography
available from fsf.org.

So I never used Symbolics keyboards."

>Symbolics response

"Thank you for your request for information about Symbolics and our products. Our supply of keyboards has been depleted to the point that we are only selling keyboards with systems. We are not building any new keyboards at this time."

Even if I was desperate enough to buy one of their full systems for the keyboard, I haven't seen one sold with a space cadet yet, and I'm on their mailing list for every product they sell.

The Space Cadet is insanely rare, they were only used with the very first Symbolics Lisp Machines. That said, recently someone on Deskthority managed to get a NOS board that had no case, so it's not totally impossible. Lisp machines used a totally different keyboard interface, the spec is available, but you would still have to wire it up to a controller to convert whatever it sends to standard keyboard scancodes.

The later models such as pic related are still rare, but do come up for sale once in a blue moon, expect to pay 1-2 grand depending on condition.

Stallman hates Symbolics with a passion, you're probably on his block list or something now. he threw his weight behind the incompetently managed Lisp Machines Incorporated and to this day blames Symbolics for stealing code and killing that company.

I remember when these came out, everyone hated them. It was in the crossfade of "look how fast technology is advancing, lets make everything small" and "bigger is better." It was just released a month too late, I swear. I remember going to walmart once and the $5 movie bin was FULL of these still in the box for $5 each, only a few months after they released. I regret everyday not picking up a ton of them. I could get one today, but I'm not paying $80+ for a used grimey one. I hunt them at yard sales and have yet to find one.

Over the years the price for a god tier player has risen from £30-60 to £300 thanks to YouTube cancer promoting Laserdisc. It fucking sucks. I resorted to framing some of the Laserdiscs I own because I have no use for them.

used less power than anything else at the time, hard to compare with current displays now that they have LED backlights, and no idea about OLED
my friends's new LED-backlit LCD tv uses more than 99 watts as that demo shows, but then it's a bigger screen
and really, there's no telling what an SED tv would be like today given time to develop, only early demo units were ever made

i suppose there'd be some radiation, like a CRT, but i don't believe regular CRT's are dangerous, they use leaded glass for a reason

>>60161266
the geometry should be perfect, as it uses a fixed array of pixels, not unlike LCD/plasma
this could be considered a negative, as flexibility in resolutions is something CRTs are known for, but it does avoid geometry issues, so pick your poison
thin and fixed pixels go hand in hand, unless you count projectors (CRT projectors exist(ed))

also since the pixels were discreet, they are individually powered, like plasma, avoiding light bleed you get with CRTs which hurt their contrast

One of the first PC servers. IBM made dual-486 ones, and I think there was an SMP 386 machine that ran NT 3.1. Considering that those were stratospherically expensive and sold in very small numbers to businesses, I doubt any even exist in running order anymore.

I also had some old Pentium and PPro boards and hardware that I really regret throwing out. One was a dual socket 8 Supermicro board (P6DNH), monster full-size AT thing with four extra PCI slots above the keyboard connector. I even had a giant tower case that had those extra slots. But high-school me had neither the money nor the time to do restoration (or mod) projects like that, and eventually I got rid of it, because who needs a dual PPro with 192MB of RAM, what's that good for?

>>60161393
it's been ages since i've looked at any small details
are the emitters per pixel, or per subpixel? i forget, if it's per pixel, then you still have convergence to worry about, which is a geometry-related issue that applies to CRTs

OLED is a very nice technology, but it's still sample-and-hold, like LCD, which is what i consider one of the worst things about LCDs
contrast is certainly amazing though, my cellphone has an OLED display, and would love an OLED computer monitor over the LCD one i currently have, i haven't checked if they make OLED computer monitors, because i know i couldn't afford one right now either way

>I just remember when they were being shown off that they had the geometry options in their menus that was shown.
hard to say what the reason is, maybe it was just adapted firmware from their CRT TV's, not cleaned up to remove unneeded functionality. fixed pixels in general completely avoids most geometry manipulations

adaptive sync is useful for other reasons, that helps with better frame timing given inconsistently-timed frames, aka, realtime rendered graphics, it does nothing for fixed-rate video (movies, tv shows)
it does nothing to help motion performance, which is the reason i don't like sample-and-hold

>I don't know the tech reason but they are still using phosphor. I assume that's the cause.
geometry is not related to using phosphors, it's related to adjusting/tweaking the deflection yoke, which is the big coils surrounding the tube in a CRT, which controls the direction of the electron beams, this doesn't exist in a SED display

They are. You probably just don't have the money to experience them.
You do know we have adaptive sync 4k IPS panels with 144MHz refresh rates and blacker blacks/contrast ratios than CRTs ever did?

they're probably better in most ways to those old demo SEDs as well, sure

Don't really care about your shitty disussion, but Freesyncs strobe is not "separate"

>>
>>60161947
Are you retarded? I own several Freesync monitors with strobe. Just because the specification does not call for it, does not mean manufacturer don't include it and no, it does not work "separately" from it, it wouldn't work at all like that
>>
>>60161977
This

No it doesn't. It only works with monitors that have their own strobe feature outside of freesync.

You don't seem to know how this works.
>>
>>60162003
Not the point, it does not work outside of Freesync, you don't seem to know how strobe works.
Every Freesync monitor that supports strobe works together with it, because AMD's shit is open source and lets manufacturer choose their shit for cheaper prices, Nvidia just has it in the specification for G-Sync, because they are "hurr we premium", stop falling for obvious gaymur marketing.

Listen you dumb kids. Listen. You're fucking retarded. That's all there is to it. You're mental invalids.

See ASUS monitors with free sync. Most like the MG279Q have no strobe. Where as ALL let me say that one more time because I'm dealing with fucking retards, ALL, gsync monitors have a strobe. Some may not be able to use it because of hz limitation but it's there. Unlike freesync which requires the manufacturer to provide the strobe software/hardware.

End yourselves, kiddos.

no, though it's clearly drawn to resemble an SD card

There's no difference though, both strobes work the same. Some just don't have if, unlike G-Sync that has it even if you don't need it.

FREESYNC IS DISABLED WHEN YOU USE THE STROBE. See Benq and other monitors you fucking underage retards.

You kids are fucked. How can you possibly be this stupid? This goes beyond just being ignorant.
>>
>>60162285
It's a open specification, nobody has to force you to use it, I own several monitors which support strobe and Freesync (at the same time).
>>
>>60162285
Your argument has nothing to do with what we are talking about, Freesync works with strobe, just because it doesn't for you does not mean it doesn't for every single monitor.
>>
>>60162285
>I lack knowledge on the topic I'm argueing about: The post

G-Sync has it in the specification, with Freesync it's up to the manufacturer, both work the same way if the manufacturer has enabled it.
Hard to grasp simple things?
>>
>>60162355
There is no "freesync strobe" there are monitors that support Freesync and let you have strobe too, but strobe in it's definition works together with Freesync if it's supported

What? Do you want me to make pictures of my monitors menus? I don't even have a Freesync option in the menu, only in Windows, I could make a picture for you of Radeon Settings what shows Freesync turned on and one of my monitors settings that shows Strobe enabled, but that would not prove anything and you would just keep calling names.

>>60162418
There is strobe and there's Freesync, if your monitor supports both and lets you enable them both, they work together because strobe literary is bind to the frame rate.

What's so hard to understand? Are you just a Nvidia fanboy?

>>60162418

Wow, that's a really good question OP - you got me thinking. I don't think there is much of anything on the market, I'm pretty happy with my computer. So I would have to say a 4k, 144hz, HDR, IPS, adaptive sync 32 inch monitor with a built in GPU capable of driving it in games.
My monitors are by far the weak spot in my set up because I really really love 144hz even when I'm not playing games it makes everything look and feel much better. So I have a 1080p 144hz monitor. 1440p 144hz is nice I feel like it's not worth it because it's so much harder to drive and feels like a stop-gap because 4k will eventually be the "next" 1080p.
I'm aware of the ASUS coming out but I don't know the size, the price, quality issues, and my heavily overclocked 980ti couldn't do it except in trivial games.
I can't think of anything else really. A close runner up would be headphones that are "perfect" and will never be overshadowed in sound quality.

I always wanted a hi-fi equalizer. Actually it's not the equalizer part I really want, just a VFD spectrum analyzer to dance with the music and to look cool. I know they're not even that expensive to get, but I keep stopping myself from buying one because I have no actual need for an EQ, have no room to place it anywhere where I'd actually look at it and it sounds like a generally bad idea to feed the signal through another component for no actual reason. I may break down and buy one at one point though, I don't know.
