Have you tried partially dismantling the system for shipping? If you remove peripheral cards, drives, HSFs, etc and wrap them in antistatic bags, a basic tower with PSU and bare motherboard typically fairs quite well.

Love the Magic: The Gathering background on that HP.

Decided to have some fun searching "famiclone" on eBay. Found this...

Does it count if I only owned one previously but don't have one right now?

That's most of my retro collection.

That kinda sucks. This sort of thing always annoys me. The trademark is simply not worth that much today. No one is going to make serious money on it. A fan just wants to own it.

That is pretty funny. I haven't read this whole thread, just the first few posts and the last ones. Did whoever it was manage to buy the commodore name?

You know what's funny about this? I found my ATI AIW 9000 breakout cable recently. A few years back, I pitched the card itself because I had "lost" the breakout and its useless without that. Regrets! I have them.

The third one is also an ATI AIW breakout. Even says ATI on it.

So I thought I had been very clever. I found a guy on eBay selling a complete unit with a broken screen but pen and PSU for just $32! ....then someone sniped me at the last minute and I lost it.
