Rackmounting that which should not be rackmounted

I have Kiwix and an offline copy of wikipedia on my phone, and my local Gen Z was so surprised and excited by the concept that I thought we should have a dedicated thing for it. Cheap e-reader plus 128GB SD card plus no wifi.

I’m a collector of vintage Apple computer systems based on the East Coast of the United States. My privately-owned collection focuses on the later PowerPC systems (1998 - 2005), and I have a particular affinity for the G3 era as it was such an exciting (and colorful) time in Apple’s history. This website is a personal project, created to showcase and share my collection with anyone else interested in these machines.
