I have a PowerTower Pro 200 and a PowerCenter 150 (minitower model). I only got the PowerCenter recently (as in within the last few years) from 4seasonphoto. I overclocked the bus on that to 60MHz. Wow! Speedy sucker.

I picked up the PowerTower Pro in 1998. It eventually got configured with a dual 604e and ran as a FileMaker 4/ASIP server 24x7 during my college years. It was a very nice machine. It also ran YDL 2 very well. I picked up this machine from an internship I had at an Agfa plant in Massachusetts. They did design and production of electronic pre-press systems there. At the time, they were going through a round of recaps replacing a whole bunch of clones they have with newer G3 systems.

I've also got a pair of Freestyle tablets (re-cased PowerBook 5300c). They are interesting, but not particularly useful machines.

I've always wanted a Umax S900, but I've never seen one in real life. I've also wanted a C500/280 for a long time. In fact, I already have the 280 w/ CacheDoubler waiting for a host to show up someday...

And I'm seriously lusting after a 4way Daystar Millennium/Genesis machine. 933MHz of PowerPC 604e goodness! Yeah.

Peace,

Drew
