CS1.6, beige boxes, CRTs and sweat. A different time.

Stuffed in a corner, under a load of other crap, in a warren of dust bunnies. Main rack is in an adjacent office.


This one must be about 15 at least. Pre-dates me and I’ve been there for 13. Still functional so I’m at loathe to just sling it. Not fond of doing drops in such wonderful weather, in a building that is basically a dusty hot tin can. Wanted to do it properly though.
