Displaying NeXT

[milanojess]

Now that I have a spare MBD which needs recap before it would work again. I am feeling lazy and don't want to just throw it in the treasure bin ( my collection of old electronics and parts ), instead, I did this so I have a good place to store it while looking good on my nerdy wall.

Is that a Mono Turbo or a Color Turbo?  If you need help recapping it, I can do it, no problem.  Just recapped my Cube and my Dimension board.

EDIT:  A Color Turbo - Very nice!  Just noticed the three mini-BNC connectors on the video connector.

That's awesome. I have two 68030 NeXT motherboards, and I could do that with one of those.  I probably have a spare Mac Plus motherboard as well.

Yes a color turbo! I kind planned to re-cap it myself and even went ahead with the recap kit. I would recap average electronics but didn't want to mess it up to the point of no return so opted an already serviced board from Rob instead Maybe one day I'll take it out of display to re-cap Appreciate the offering @Danyetman!

@eagle do share a pic when you do!

An array of historic motherboards mounted in square frames (say 9 boards in a tic-tac-toe pattern) would look handsome.

Pull out your wallet and get on eBay!

How did you do this anyway?  Is this just a shadow box with the motherboard screwed to the back of the box?  I need to do this with the boards I mentioned before.
