    Hey Psivewri, the dead motherboard and video card can still be fixed if you know how to solder. Especially the video card that looks fine but doesn't work, the most common issues with a dead video card that doesn't let the computer turn on is a shorted capacitor that is really easy to get online as a pack of.

    Congrats!! Here's some feedback for you. Can you use a wider lens and have your hands exposed so that you can have some amount of hand motion going on? Because right now it looks like someone has strapped you onto that chair. Hope you take this feedback in a positive way.

    One of my favourite graphics packages was Aldus SuperPaint 3.0. Not sure if it was compatible with the version of Mac OS 7.1 you have there, but as I recall, I was using Mac OS 7.x with SuperPaint on my MacBook 180c.
    IF you have SuperPaint, you could do a whole segment on it, it's that nice a program that has never been replaced. It had a draw layer and a paint layer. You could draw things, then cut them to the paint layer, or even cut parts of the paint layer to the draw layer. I used SuperPaint for simulations of interfaces and even for backgrounds for presentation slides. I really miss SuperPaint.
    Cheers!

    I have never seen one of these macs before. I only have ever used the apple 2c I think in school back then.

    The cx was a rare limited edition. It was quickly replaced by the IIci which was much better and had a cache card slot as well as a snap-in removable power supply. The ci was a massive hit and produced in huge quantities. You should also definitely get a RasterOps 8/24 NuBus video card for it. Those and SuperMac cards were dope back in the day.
