Ha, nice ps/2's. Their quite expensive on eBay now.
I have a model 70 myself.

Also, that AT keyboard in the backround looks identical to mine.

I say add the extra leaf to the table...always better to have more room for retro computing.

I see you still haven't cleaned up your computers...just wipe them down and they will look so much better ...just giving you a hard time 🤣 ...they still look awesome as is.

I should clean my PCs. Hopefully I can remember to do that next month sometime.

Here we go!!

Hexacore gaming box
Quad Core work box
Single Core K6 III+ Time Machine Box

....and beer coaster.. 😀

Here are the mains.. It's a decent setup for two comps at once, the monitors are cross wired so either machine can run duals with the push of a button.

Both machines are similar..
Phenom II X4 965 Blacks
1TB WD Black
GTX 260's.. One is a core 216
One is 4gig DDR3 1333, the other is 6gig DDR2 800

Here are the kids plus some OEM's I found in the dumpster..

Top row.. Socket A, 386, Parts
Row 2.. Socket 478, Slot 1, Dell Core 2 duo (Freebie)
Row 2.. Dual 370, Socket A, 486
Row 3.. MT, Parts, Parts, Parts..

The HTPC.. I love this SilverStone case, hard to tell it's a computer but it's real tight inside... Not good for hot running gear

Why are the pics "Not downloaded yet"?

Uploaded a few times, resized, nothing seems to fix it... I'm sure I'm missing something obvious..

I really tried to use 2 keyboards on the same desk like you have. One above the other. I kept using the wrong keyboard so I gave up on it and use a KVM Switch.

KVM won't work with one wired and one wireless keyboard. Since my main keyboard is wireless, I just move it over to the other side of my L shaped desk, and pull the wired keyboard out when gaming on the Time Machine.

Not sure what it's trying to tell us, but the pics opened up fine for me. 😀 Is that Dell a Precision workstation? And is that a Chenbro Dragon I spy? 😎

Artex: did you make or buy the coaster? It looks awesome either way. 😀

A garage sale in 2006!

My specs:

Champion PC(local brand with OEM) I5 3.1 GHz, 4 GB, GeForce GT 240, Windows 7 64-bit.

Hello to all, and congratulations for the beautiful forum - the most complete and interesting I've ever seen, regard to the magical world of MS-DOS titles! I'm attaching photos of my nerd-station: on the left a PC PIII 900 @700, Matrox G400 + Voodoo II, 256mb, SoundBlaster Live!, Windows 98 modified and updated [unofficially]; next and sharing the same keyboard and monitor via KVM, there's my PC with FreeDOS, 64mb and PIII 450 on ASUS P2B-F, S3 Trio 3D/2X + Voodoo I, SoundBlaster 16; on the right my Debian Linux 64 workstation, Athlon 64 X2 6400 + BE on Abit AN9-32X, 4GB, GeForce 9800 GTX+ Dark Knight ... tons of cables here: P

Most of the pieces were saved from the landfill, or bought at a good price on eBay or at some flea market.

This is my main rig at home. FX 8320,16Gb ram Sapphire Radeon 7950 OC Vapor X, which I just transplanted into an NZXT full tower and boy do I love that extra space and cable management!
The older kit I keep in my PC shop as I haven't got room at home and besides, the garage is taken up with biking kit and tools.
I'll post the older kit tomorrow 😀

The Coolermaster V6 GT is a monster, but really does the job.

Very nice setup Artex. i too have a kexacore gaming machine and quad core workstation.

Thanks!!

Agreed.
Very nice and tidy setup you have there Artex.
If we move house, I plan to get a space of my own so that I'm not in the living room as I am now.

Thanks guys. Moving forward I'm gonna avoid glass desks - a lot of work to keep finger prints & dust off of it. I really like those Ikea L & corner desks - just so expensive.

I know what you mean, I don't like glass at all...on my first post on Vogons, I posted a pic of my setup in this thread on page 22...you can see what I used for my desk...

...it is actually a plain white kitchen counter top from IKEA on top of a "Besta" IKEA media centre/book shelf...it sounds kind of ugly, but it turned out very nice and it's much cheaper than the L & Corner desks Ikea has and they are very sturdy and deep enough to use a CRT setup if you want to.
