ThinkPad X230

...featuring:

• An i5-3320M
• 6 gigabytes of RAM (upgrading to 16 GB soon hopefully)
• 128 GB SATA SSD
• Gentoo Linux + River (coffee-like colorscheme)

Planned mods:

• Classic keyboard swap
• FHD (1080p) display mod, unfortunately very expensive :(
• Lots of stickers. And I mean lots.

Currently in use as a tinkering and development machine on the go. Also used by my siblings to play on our Minecraft server.

Thinkpad L14 Gen 2A

My daily driver.

Specifications:

• A Ryzen 5 5600U
• 16 gigabytes of RAM
• A shitty battery life & touchpad
• Gentoo Linux + GNOME

A librebooted Dell Latitude E5420

Got it for free.

Classified as dead because I was stupid enough to disassemble it. (It has a quintillion screws, and I'm too lazy to re-assemble it). I might buy a Thinkpad x230 to replace it. (Edit: I did. :D)

i5-2540M, with 8 gigs of RAM running Devuan Linux + XFCE.

My Atari 1040 STF

Monochrome display included.

Haven't found any use for it yet. Got it for a good deal once and never did anything with it.

My goal is to somehow run *BSD or Linux on it, though it doesn't have an MMU, which is apparently the only hope for this thing doing anything cool.

My homelab

with:

• A Mikrotik CCR1009-8G-1S switch/router which I got for free.
• Two librebooted Optiplex 3050 Micro's, which I got for 60$ total.
• A HP ProDesk 400 G5 SFF running most of my minecraft servers.
• All of these machines run OpenSUSE MicroOS.
• A Linksys EA6500 running DD-WRT for wifi in my room (which I want to replace with a OpenWRT One).

Want to replace the Mikrotik switch with a custom pfsense/opnsense setup. Haven't gotten around to it yet.
