Me, I like "Hotrodding" them, it's fun to see just how far past the norm you can take a system :^) My PDP-11/73 is a killer system, and probably one of the better outfitted ones around (eventually I want to replace the CPU with either a /93 or a nice fast Mentec CPU). My Amiga 3000 is pretty decked out as well, though I've not felt I could justify the Accelerator upgrade that I would like to do for it. Another system I'd love to "Hotrod" would be one of my
Apple ][gs's, not that I mess with Apple 2's anymore.
