With all this rain, I just haven't got out to the retro den to sort out the electric supply 
BUT today I went out and unpacked what I had in boxes/bags to see what I could do with a setup..... I figure I need some higher shelving and some holes drilled for cables to drop down.
Here is what I have currently set out in there........................................
This has been out there for 2 years! (is in great condition as it has been in its box all that time... Load of games in a box with about 5 tape recorders still to unpack.
The Tatung (Had a jolly good play on this - Chuckie Egg is just SO good on any machine!)
C64 & C64c with cassette decks and 1541 drive......
The BBC B - will set this up soon as it has been converted to run games via USB sticks
Anyone remember the SpaceOrb??!! also my lovely C64 in a joystick
Amiga 1200 and A500 (ummm yellow version!!!!)
TG16 - must find out what I need to get this running... stepdown converter?
Saturn and a few games
The MAME cab.....
Now all I need is some sunshine and 5 little TV's............

Looking good Marko.
Didn't realise you has an Einstein.
Couldn't do me a favour could you.?
I need a side shot of the computer. Low level, not from above.
Making a Mame CP designed round the Einstein but can't find a side view photo.
Much appreciated.

bbc usb?
that interests me a lot....I love new ways of playing/loading games onto old computers and consoles.....
anything that speeds up the loading process retro or even today is very very interesting....
Been thinking of getting a divide for my speccys, but I am not sure if it is what I want...(As long as I can throw a load of speccy games on a device is what I need - but playing it on the original hardware...)
The hard drive and compact flash set up I have on my a600 is one of the best things I have ever bought....
Brilliant thread and please keep updating with photos and more info

Hey RIK, do you want the side shot with the monitor attached or monitor off? and ummmm do you want to see its behind?!
Benny, I'll get the beeb up and running on Thursday - and will let you know what the USB thingy is like... maybe stick it on a video and post it on here.
Thanks for the interest guys - will keep the thread alive as I sort stuff out. I forgot to say that there are about a thousand Amiga disks to sort through too
Hmmmm maybe a job for one of the kids¬!

Hi Marko... I like big BUTTS and a cannot lie.!
Just a side view from desktop hight will do. With or without monitor, whichever is easier.
Just want a side profile of that lovely looking machine. If the BBC Micro is a 1969 Dodge Charger then the Einstein is a 1984 Pontiac Trans Am.!

I'll grab a side view on Thursday mate.
Going to start a thread about the PC Engine/TG16 so I can get some ideas on what to do with it - not sure what I need to plug it in in the UK!!

What fits it?

Anytime mate, I have the UK version of the NEC TurboGrafx, which is grey instead of black but plays all US games. I think I have about 50 odd games for it now, great machine.

I had a spare Hu-Card of Takin' It To The Hoop which I actually stuck on eBay last night. I offered it here a few times but nobody took me up
