29 Nostalgic Tech Gifts That Make Modern Gear Look Boring

My desk is currently a disaster zone of cables and screens, and I realized I'm bored to death of everything looking like a sterile white plastic rectangle. I spent the last three hours digging through the weirdest corners of the web and found 29 pieces of gear that actually have some soul to them. Some of these are just pure chaos, but they're way too cool to keep to myself.
