Fat stash of older but still viable gear, all cherished and used respectfully through the years in (mostly) perfect working order. If set up as is, would be an excellent starter for a hacking lab (especially for students), would certainly make a few bucks if parted out, but that's the worst option... Not interested in haggling too hard as it's tough enough saying good bye to these babies - this is such a sweet deal, and honestly, if you have a bunch of questions, this ain't for you.

I am open to barter for synthesizers, drum machines, and other studio gear in the value range of my asking price. Also interested in hardware bench kit like logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, power supplies, etc.

Comes with so many OG extra goodies like:

- original Snow Leopard binder and disc
- OEM and after market peripherals and accessories (keyboard, track pad, griffin stand, video and card adaptors, etc.)
- Other fun stuff: soundbar, original chromecast, cheap smart watch, headset, travel bags, etc.

## Apple

* Mac Pro 4,1
- Updated to 5,1 firmware and High Sierra
- Mac-flashed, Metal capable GPU from MacVidCards
- PCI-based SSD expansion with 1 TB drive
- Ran Mojave (dosdude) at one point, pretty sure is BigSur capable via OpenCore patcher

* Macbook Pro 5,1
- 8 GB
- DVD->SSD swap, 300 GB Intel SSD
- Decent and easily replaceable battery, working power supply

## Lenovo

* Thinkpad t440p
- Disc drive replace with SSD
- An all-time hackable Thinkpad in beautiful condition

* Erazer x15
- Currently dual-bootable Windows 10 and Linux
- Windows on HDD, Linux on SSD
- Slightly upgraded GPU from original

## Dell

* Monitor u2410f
- amazing set of inputs (DP, HDMI, DVD and holy smokes Component)
- works great with older gear and all the stuff in this kit

## MakerBot

* Replicator 2
- Was a workhorse back in the day
- Least recently tested piece of kit in this bunch, fairly confident it's good to go
- PLA spool is old and likely shouldn't be used, but you can stick it in a dryer for a bit if you are adventurous
