My daily driver is a ThinkPad 25 (Anniversary Edition) Paired with a Logitech G613/603

As much as I love my vintage boards, I can't work effectively without proper Media control keys and macros.

I’d be all over this if only it was a Model F!


Don't blame yah ! I bought my F122 for a little over $600 and it worth every penny. Having said that, I think Ms aren't too far behind and the one I have for sale is an early layout. Top case and flip out feet are actually compatible with Model F ...

You seem to be a rather well-equipped layman
Anyway, that's a really nice piece of work.

Dewalt tools have replaced talent for me and that's how I justify buying them

Hello and welcome to the forums!

As a fellow IBM fanatic im happy to see this. Way better shelf than i managed to get for my boards. I need to consider making one of these cabinets in the future


It's great to be here and I'm glad you guys like the cabinet.

I came across a photo of an IBM ...

That's a lovely display of IBM boards! Came out cleaner than my cabinet, but then, I bought my cabinet secondhand rather than making it myself.


Thank you ! It took me three weeks to make it and I wouldn't have done it if my state wasn't in full lockdown for weeks LOL I live in California and ...

Great job! And certainly better than storing the keyboards in plastic bags, as I do ... a friend does! :?

With that said, now that we know we have a woodworker in here... get ready for questions about how to build display cases and tables! :mrgreen:


I'll be honored to help ! what you need are ...

It's an IBM 5155 Portable XT with 640k or RAM and 32MB HDD ... The one and only way I play Pac-Man !

Just got an Ethernet card for it so now I can transfer files via FTP.

Thank you guys, it's great to be here.



Hi Nader,

Welcome!

Impressed. What a way to start. Happy to have you here! What made you want to make a display case?

Always happy to see another IBM fan. Is there glass on the front of the display case? Or just Lights? Both??

I would love to build ...

Hello Everyone,

My name is Nader and I'm a self proclaimed IBM fanatic! I've been visiting this forum for quite some time and I finally decided to create an account and join the conversation.

Like all of us, I've been cooped up at home for weeks now so I finally had time to build a display ...
