Oh, I'm so jealous.

Got to tinker with one back in the day.

Really? Was it functioning? What was the experience like?

I have a currently-apart T3200SX (+scraps of another that I took the screen from).

The red gas plasma screen is interesting, I couldn't figure out how to install DOS on it and I don't think I could cobble enough memory for other options. The timechip was bad too (not sure if that was preventing DOS or if I did something else wrong), I bought another but it was DOA too.

The HDDs I think were bad too, and this model was locked into using some proprietary drive. (probably could be bypassed for a newer drive, not sure)
