Holy crap, how did they manage to make a beige box so cute?

Nice on having the matching LCD to go with it; usually they get thrown out for being old.

Actually, the LCD is not matching, but rather part of the core machine. The two boxes on the left are simply external cdrom and harddisks. The Voyager was named so, because it was an early portable. From today's perspective it is more like an iMac style all-in-one machine. The problem is that it includes a 2.5" SCSI hard disk. But it is very cute indeed.

Yep, a delightfully cute all-in-one, actually one of the reasons I'm so in love with the little beast. Cute as a button!
Here's some more shots of mine...

Very nice system, I love the design...!

Such a futuristic design. So ahead of its time.

That's absolutely wicked! I think that's really great you've preserved such a fantastic little UNIX machine.

Ah, that explains why the LCD is still around then since it's an all-in-one. Guaranteed it would have been ditched otherwise :/
So when its 2.5" SCSI hard disk dies, it becomes as useless as my ThinkPad 850 :p
(the SCSI-to-SD adapters can apparently fry some SCSI controllers in those now-rare machines)
