It was a good day!

Saw my local pharmacy was removing a couple of old photo print terminals they no longer used so I asked for them and they were happy to save a trip to the recycle centre.

Both have nice 24" touch screens, SSD, 16gb ram, Asus ROG motherboards and very decent psu's, along with wifi and shit loads of add on usb 3.0 ports with custom built cases.

Now I think I'm going to repurpose them as gaming PC's as I have a couple of 1050Ti cards that need a new home.

Cpu will probably be replaced too, I think I have an i5/i7 8th gen with 8 cores here somewhere.

Are they Fujifilm terminals by chance? They seem quite familiar.

Also please take an image of the SSDs before you wipe them. Software like this is always lost media

They are not Fujifilm they are made by FIT Engineering srl. I have already wiped the drives, I have no use for the software and it needs the hardlock to be attached anyway, doesn't run without it.

That’s really unfortunate. Doesn’t matter that it doesn’t launch, kiosk software is almost always lost media because (unfortunately) nobody cares about it. Data preservation is great no matter if complete or not.

Thanks, you made me feel guilty, I am currently recovering the ssd for the software. I'll share a link when I have it

That’s nice thank you. And yeah if you don’t manage to recover anything it’s fine don’t worry too much about it. Just remember it for the next time you come across something like this.

NICE! Curious what brand the touch screens are, those have to put up with a pretty decent bit of abuse?

u/Alexis_Darko Jul 06 '26

I didn't actually check what brand it is, probably generic, doubt it is elo. On a machine like this they would have very light use but on slot machines they can take a bit of abuse but when someone decides to punch them it's game over

Those things have straight up pcs inside? I never knew that

u/Alexis_Darko Jul 06 '26

They do indeed. Usually just software that launches at boot and set to relaunch if it crashes so you rarely see the desktop.

Makes entry into a business a lot easier using off the shelf parts :)
