Both setups look great! That poster was one of the things that got me hooked on NeXT. Still don't have a copy though....someday! Maybe I'll just setup my gear and take a picture myself in landscape mode. LOL!
Thanks for sharing!

Quote from: "NeXTnewbe"Thanks,took me years to complete my system, the poster is not the original but is a replica we did with SloMacuser years ago :)Nice. You know, it might've been SloMacuser that was trying to get me to take mine (an original) out of frame and scan it. I always meant to get around to it, but I never did. :-) Also, it's dry mounted to foam board, so that would possibly make scanning difficult.
That is indeed quite a system. I haven't used mine in some time, and I think a big part of it is the dim, relatively hazy 21" NeXT color display. I have recently been using my Gecko with a proper LCD and the display is so crisp and clean. I need to get a LCD on that slab. How have you handled the cabling -- some adapter?
The printer is a nice touch. Does it function?

I was looking for the poster for over 5 years, and I recall contacting many of the member here, including you.
at the end I got the Cube Broshure and I scanned and worked with SloMacUser and he did the magic!!!, great guy!!
all works like a charm :), I need to change the tonner soon, alos I have my cube setup on the local LAN and I have a samba share to my local NAS, (500 GB spare for teh cube alone) is too much I know, :oops:
Thank you

Wonderful setup!
Loved the NeXT logo on the modern LCD monitor and the Sun 411 external SCSI cabinet!

Where can one get a NeXT video connector (slab) to VGA converter? I know a Sync On Green screen would be required, etc.
Any source? Thanks.

I am using the SUN 530-2917-01 VGA to 13W3 adapter cable with my TurboColor and a NEC LCD and it works beautifully. It is about 12" long, plugs into the monitor VGA receptacle and the NeXT Y-cable plugs into the 13W3 SUN adapter. The only remaining little thing that would make it 100% perfect is change in colour from SUN grey to NeXT black.

Thanks, I just grabbed one NIB off eBay for $9. Now I need to find a home for my NeXT 21" color CRT. I don't want it taking up space any longer.

I picked up some adapters from monoprice or Amazon for a system in the past that worked. I think it required two adapters, a 13w3 to vga and a vga gender changer.
Here is a thread that talks about it and has some pics of one from ebay.
