Battlestation Thread (Mechwarrior 2 Edition)

I just got my favorite game as a kid finally up and running again on my old PowerMac: Mechwarrior 2! Seems like as good a reason as any to show off some retro battlestations.

Nice. I was wondering about creating a PowerPC thread. I was an user that got hold of 3 G5s but I came to terms I wouldn't utilize them enough and sold all of them to people that said they'd be put to good use.

I picked up a couple G4 (two first gen, one quicksilver 900mhz), the quicksilver looks great but there's nothing I can do with it that I can't do with my desktop, and better

God that case is fucking slick. I wish Apple would return to that aesthetic.

Those PowerMac G5s are beastly. Id have picked one up by now except that they dont run OS9, which is where all the nostalgic shit is for me. I always thought it could be a fun project to max out a G5 tower and see how well it would handle modern (but perhaps more casual) tasks like youtube, etc.
