What is the portrait-oriented screen on the left of the second picture? Is it a computer monitor?

That is a Vectrex.

I only have a few games for it and no overlays. Looks great in the dark with the lights off.

My basement has like dozens of 486 and Pentium computers in it, but i´ll submit those pictures later.

A bonus:

Vectrex rocks. I've got a pretty decent Vectrex collection, including a lot of the modern releases (Protector is plain awesome).

Thanks, all of it was free from the local thrift store, I had a nice 866 in a black case with a black CRT Flat. Just did not give me that retro feel.

I'm married now, but my computing area is a mess 🤣 (I'll post new pictures when I get it semi-cleaned up.)

Yeah i know, i have a ` little` room here where is more stuff in there..
And there is some stuff in the bed room..

Over a few months i go to moved to a new living, me and my girl bought a house instead of renting it.
Then i have the loft for my own and can store all of my computer equipment there.. I make some nice tables there so i can put my vintage computers there.. I make then also a place to solder and desolder things i need to fix.. 😊
