Those are some nice heatsinks. As much as I like the professional grayscale theme of many motherboards nowadays, I miss when boards would flaunt their copper.

It feels like VRM coolers have regressed. Heat pipes and big fin arrays are very not commen now.

That's mostly because today's VRMs are much more efficient than back then. There's simply no need for as much cooling in the first place.

The computers on the shelf are too small/too far away to guess, but im 99% sure the one on the right edge is an Amiga (500 i think?)

As for the rest, on the desk, i thing the first one on the left is an atari st, the 3rd one i don't know but i've seen it before, and the last one is on the tip of my tongue but i can't find it.

Anyway last 2 are DOS for sure

That's a beautiful setup, very clean and love how you have several always functional. I'm not that experienced with much besides pc clones but figured the two on the left were either ataris or tandys, and then the ibm pc At, and the couple old apples.

 

 I really need to re-organize my own collection/computer room and likely move my servers, probably to under the basement stairs :/
