So I bought an abandoned Storage unit in Paradise, CA - Tons of vinage computer stuff was inside.

Just the highlights here.

Amazing find.

Dude, a TI-99 and a TRS-80.... My childhood...

I've never actually used either TBH. I came up on IBM and IBM clones.

TI-99 and Vic-20 for me.

Someone should build a badass gaming rig inside one of those ancient cases.

Ditto, 486DX2!

I had the TRS-80, my friend had the TI-99. Another friend has the C-64

5160 for me, but I did step through all the others (286, 386, 486 etc)

Yeah, the idea of a AMD Ryzen rig with a GeForce GTX1080 built into one of those roundish terminals is interesting.

As long as it remains filthy beige on the outside.

Shit, an old ass Honeywell mini. That's something you don't see every day.
If you were closer, I would take that one off your hands for $10. Shipping on that monster would cost a fortune, not worth it to come back to Texas. With the number of dumb terminals, there might be some other mini/mainframe stuff in there. But that's very niche and not worth a lot.
Most of the other stuff is cleanable and sellable. The TI-99/4a, TRS-80 and VIC20 are easy money. The PS/2 stuff, not so much.
