Oh man, that blue stool. ı didn't know they existed in any other part of the world. Now I desperately need one of those..

Oh those... think I last saw one in the arcade at Peterborough ice rink (UK) in the 1990s.

there is a lot going on, on that desk! cool with 4:3 and wide screens. the wyse set up is interesting too

The "Tower of Towers" area. Got a Dell D4100 and my LX rig. 486 at the bottom, but it needs a HDD (still play with it with two floppies/ZIP). Got a different desk with my 2004-2008 era system(s) and another for the modern stuff, but I'm conducting surgery right now, so I'll get a picture later.

What is that little copper fin tower? Factory or add-on?

Woah. You gave me flashbacks with that one. Thanks, 🤣 I totally remember buying that when it was new-new. I overclocked this board a lot back in the day, so it needed all the help it could get. I ran a PentiumD925(3.0) at 3.75 for a few years before the CPU finally bit it.

My Current computing area. I'm not really happy with it, but for now it works. The left two monitors are for my main PC, Logitech Z340 2.1 (have had since the early 2000's). The monitor on the right is a Benq FP93G S 1280x1024 for all the other PC's. We've got Logitech R-20 2.1 speakers, Compaq PS/@ Mouse, My original MS Wheel Mouse Optical Mouse, MS Internet Keyboard Pro.

great range of computers there, i'd probably use the P2-400 and maybe one of the Athlon XPs for dos/98 and win xp respectively the most, with lots of games among them. its great to have some P3 and 4 in the mix though, nice variety in video cards too!

Thanks! I did make a My retro computer system log listing all the individual computers, a few more pics and some benchmarks. Our first Windows based computer has a Pentium 166 and 98 on it, so I don't have much experience with DOS gaming. For me, it was mainly 98/XP. My second PC had a K6-2 500 I think I was, got XP running on that, then went to the Athlon XP, then the Athlon 64 X2....

Finally cleaned up my home office enough to take a picture 🤣 running a Dell 24" 2560x1440 primary and 2 Lenovo 22" 1680x1050 for the daily driver and work laptop.

At the time, there's an Abit PX5 with 32Megs of SD-RAM and a P55C 200 right of the table on a 19" Dell 1280x1024. I often mount a test bench on top of the tower of Milwaukee Packout tool boxes 😁
