Retro Hack Shack
Welcome to the Retro Hack Shack! My name is Aaron and on this channel I make, break, and hack on vintage computer systems and other technology. I have a love of computers from the 70s, 80s, and 90s and decided to start filming my adventures with them.
A little about me ...
I have been a maker since I was old enough to hold a screwdriver. I have worked in the IT industry for companies like Cisco, New Relic, NetApp, Oracle, Sun Microsystems, and Hewlett Packard. I co-host several shows about technology for TWiT.tv including FLOSS Weekly. In 2012 I founded Benicia Makerspace. I also wrote a book called Linux for Makers which you can find in the links below.

I need your help! I am thinking of doing a video of the best 3D printed designs for the vintage computer community. Which ones should I feature? What are your favorites? I love that we can use modern technology to help us save our favorite old technology for future generations to enjoy.

Absolutely massive Sovol SV-08 MAX now installed in the Retro Hack Shack. With a 500x500x500mm build area I should be able to print replacement cases for 15 inch CRTs ... if I actually want to someday. More videos dropping soon on the second channel and then in this one.

So "Communities" on YouTube are a thing now? What do you think? Better than comments or Discord?
