Specifically, the rule in the opening post says this... Photographs must be provided as JPEG files in landscape aspect ratio (turn those phones on their side please) and of a suitable resolution for print reproduction (5 megapixels or greater). The rule doesn't specify details like 4:3 versus 16:9 though. Now that I examine my two submissions, I see that both are in fact 4:3. (Wider than taller, which is what Landscape means.) Click to expand...

Sorry to violate the rules! I cropped the photos to a better shape.

Hopefully a square is acceptable. This is an original Macintosh dealer sign I picked up this year with a custom base with LED strip I made for it.

Here's one more. I keep a mass grave of pulled capacitors, batteries and other bits and bobs from the things I repair.

Really like this one. I should start one of these myself! What did you use as a container?

One at a time usually :)
I have to take the one I want out and hook it up on the desk to tinker with.

I'd be tempted to make shelves that could be extended out, then lifted up to a comfortable working height, or lowered to a comfortable height, that way, they could all be in their shelving unit spots, but useable without having to disconnect the power cord, etc, and move whichever machine you want to use over to the desk. Might have to elevate the shelving unit to bring the middle row of Amiga computers up to desk height. Those would simply just slide out for use.
