The intention is to give a glimpse of the development and testing environment(s) I have.

Some of the components are stripped real products and modified to be used as development environment. This is due the weird product pricing: development environments from the manufacturers tend to cost absolutely too much. I thought development environments are just for supporting chip sales not to be rip off products or money making products, but it seems i'm totally wrong. Some manufacturers are having reasonable priced products - at least some models.

Got old trashed company laptops for testing environments. Especially Thinkpads are so crappy that those cannot be used more than 2 years constantly (models: A20m, T23, R40). The reason is maily really poor quality casing, and especially display connection construction, which seems to be planned by a high school student grade person(s). They should have had industry spionage dept and checked out how HP models nc/nx 8xxx are constructed.
