Very cool. Do you live in an old farmhouse or what's up with your (basement?) wall?

I own a ground level studio in the countryside of Paris (~60km away) with this nice vaulted cellar I've transformed in an additional room (sleeping room / bathroom / desk) 😀

Edit : and of course, thanks 😉

Very n... wait, what? bathroom?

Yup 😀

Let me illustrate :

Hi all,

This is my internet-connected (via Realtek ethernet card) IBM 5160 PC/XT! I typically use for telnet BBSing, Gopher surfing, and UseNet reading. Could seem to only upload two photos?

Dang. That is just lovely.

It would be strange to use that without a modem squeal, but I suppose your setup must have been what it was like to logon from a university.

[Perhaps there is an upload limit on first post. Also, upgrades are underway.]

Looks like 1988 comes calling 😀

Oh that beautiful MicroSolutions Backpack 3.5" drive. Want one too. Someday... 🙄

My office some days before (22/12/2019)

Macintosh LC475, 36mb ram, 4.5gb hard drive, Macintosh Color Display Monitor M1212, Apple ADB M3501 keyboard, Apple 4x scsi external cd rom drive, Macally mouse, Roland MT32, Macman Midi Interface, Nedis audio mixer, Logitech X230 speakers, Monkey Island 2 mouse pad.

^^ Labels please. 😀

This my retro "computing area".

Under the work bench are 4 computers.
Left to right:
1 - Athlon XP 2000+ system
2 - Slot 1 Celeron system
3 - Pentium 4 3.06ghz Dell
4 - i5-760 - my old billing PC from my old business

On the workbench are a couple of screens on switchboxes and my workbench PC, the left one has a 2 port PS/VGA/audio KVM, normally there is a logitech keyboard and mouse in front of that screen but they are being used for a project today. The right KVM is USB/VGA/Audio and has 4 ports.

The workbench PC is Supermicro motherboard with a Xeon X5677 CPU and 18GB DDR3 RAM.

The boxes have a wide variety of old computer parts and pieces.

My TV computer, 486, laptops and two main gaming machines, modern (i7-4790k) and retro (P4-3.4ghz) are in my living room and I'm not going to post a pic of that mess today. heh.

Here's my main computing area:

-Assorted boxes, parts, software, and shelved computers.
-An Apple IIe running Conan. 1MHz 6502, 128KB of RAM, dual Disk IIs, green Monitor II.

-486 DX2-66 running Raptor: Call of the Shadows on the CRT. 8MB of RAM, 540MB HDD, AWE64, DOS 6.22.
-Cardboard PC (red thing on top of desk), also hooked up to the CRT monitor but switched off in this photo. Unlocked PII-300, 192MB EDO, TNT2 PCI, ESS AudioDrive ISA, 10GB HDD, Win95
-Mac SE, 8MHz 68000, 4MB of RAM, 80MB HDD, System 6

-Massively upgraded Dell XPS T550 running Virtual On: Cyber Troopers on the first LCD. Celeron-1400 on Lin-Lin FCPGA2 adapter on Slotket, 512MB PC100, Voodoo3 3500 AGP, Aureal SQ2500 Vortex 2 PCI audio, AWE64 ISA audio, 80GB HDD, Win98SE
-The Super PIII (in Antec P182 beside the desk), running Painkiller on the second LCD. PIII-S @ 1628 MHz on QDI Advance 12T mobo, 2GB of DDR @ 310MHz, GeForce 6800GT, X-Fi Platinum, 500GB HDD, WinXP Media Center Edition 2005

-Dell Optiplex 780 USFF (tucked beneath the monitors), switched off in this photo. 3.33GHz Core 2 E8600, 8GB DDR3, 256GB 840 Pro SSD, Win10 Pro v1903
-Power Mac G4 MDD, switched off in this photo. Dual 1.25GHz G4s w/ 2MB L3 cache each, GeForce 7800GS AGP, 2GB DDR PC2700, 300GB 10K RPM SCSI HDD, OS X 10.4.11

-Main gaming PC, running Redout. Ryzen 9 3900X @ 4.3GHz (all-core OC), 32GB DDR4-3200, GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, 1TB MX500 SSD, 4TB HDD, Win10 Pro v1903.

And here are a few other computing areas around the house:
The Standard Def Batcave:

-Projector is a JVC DLA-NX7. 4096x2160 native res, HDR capable, and all that cool stuff. And man does it project a razor sharp picture, the contrast ratio and color accuracy is unbelievable for a projected image. 3D movies are completely crosstalk free. This projector recently replaced a 1080p Epson unit from 2011. Just a night and day difference in every way.

-Vogons at 110 inches!

4K Netflix playing from an i7-4790 (Haswell) based HTPC. Remember when Intel said that you absolutely MUST HAVE a 7th gen or later CPU to watch Netflix at 4K? 😜

Better than any show on Netflix: Phil's Computer Lab at 4K/60!

The theater lobby:

Yep, there's a computer in the Lobby closet. It's the file server, powered by an ancient Pentium M overclocked to 2.66GHz on an MSI Speedster i915 board. But that sweet little Dothan's got control over a whopping 26 TB of storage! It's been running 24/7 for close to a year. Last time I had it off was when I was putting in an additional HDD!

And finally, here's my favourite Sunday morning computing spot. A cup of hot chocolate and an hour of DOS gaming out here = pure bliss.

Damn how bigs your house? Looks awesome. Is that snow? How many people do you have to share this playground with?

Delightful Steve!

I recognize that corner desk. I used to have one a long time ago.

You've clearly done well for yourself!

Could you buy me a new laptop please?! 😁
