It's non specific, but I want to get a cassette player. Something about the redundant, analog tech really vibes with me.
@Sperger King you can pick those up really cheap on ebay
VCRs and VHS are not hard to get. You can still buy both on Amazon.
I never got rid of my VCR and tapes; it's still mostly how I record things.
Old =/= no longer useful.
@GHTD You'll find tapes still all over for little money, and VCRs are both common and cheap at yard sales.
When i worked tech retail, somebody brought in a retro fitted one that had a new screen and worked on modern cell towers.Phones from the 80s strike my interest. Imagine walking around in public trying to fit large brick in your pockets.
Cheap for a leica, yes. For a film camera, no. If i sold all my film cameras and lenses i have now, if wouldnt equal an m3 body.@An Ghost you can pick those up realy cheap on ebay

They're fairly valuable on Amazon/eBay anyway. Still available, but not within everyday purchase length.
Wanted to do this after my first build. Decided against it since GOG makes running these old games much more convenient.I really want a mid 90s gaming PC. Ever since I built my own last year, I've been really curious as to how they worked back in the 90s. I think it'd be cool to see those older games running on hardware they were meant for. Of course, there's no practical reason for this since most games can run on modern hardware (usually), so it's mostly just for the experience of playing, say, Quake on a Pentium or whatever the hell people played it on.
I almost want a mid 80s one because I still can't wrap my head around how people played on them in the late 70s and early 80s, but there's even less practical reason for that since those games can run on damn near anything nowadays.
