Google "Antec Skeleton" for more info.

I've seen it before, it's basically a test rig with a honkin great fan sat on top of it.

A little gaudy for my tastes and I can imagine it'd be an absolute sod to keep clean, not to mention stopping pets/children from cutting themselves or worse.

Damn, I'm getting old.

They used to make these in the early 1900s. You would put bread in it and it would make toast.

so those springs take the data back and forth from the CPU to the motherboard, huh?  LOL!!!

That's the 60Hz front side bus. LOL!

Hehe, that toaster brings back memories of sitting around the heater with bread on sticks when I was a child. Cant recall why, it was only the 70's, not like toasters werent around, but I used to enjoy it. Was like camping without the inconvenience of camping

I love (not) flipping the toast on those early models.
Popping floppy disks in and out on an Amiga 500 must be their computer equivalent.

I saw a documentary on architecture recently, they displayed the first modern kitchen designed and built in 1930 (I think). It was based on a ships galley. Bench, cabinets etc.

That beast looks like something out of Fallout

That's damned ugly.  Looks like a cross between an Erector Set and the Mars Rover!

The thing gets reposted here every few months as somebody new "discovers" it.

Here's a more modded one...

That's not actually a complete joke... I used to work on terminals back in the 70's that used "magneto restrictive delay lines" as the screen memory. I opened one up once, and it had what looked like springs coiled up in a metal can. I was always having to hike over to the programmers cave with a screwdriver and adjust the tension on those things to keep the screens in sync. And don't even mention the character set "ROM" which was a whole array of individual diodes on one of the circuit boards... ;-)
