Yeah it was because I don't have a ton of room for my computers and wanted to cover every era separately.

Shivers I finally come across my brother from another mother.

You setup looks vary similar to min. Very nice arrangement and system choice of systems. Well done.

Thank you still would like to add maybe a G3 Power Macintosh to cover macintosh from the end of the Mac Classics to the 2000s and be able to write Macintosh Classic floppy images to disk for my Mac classics and play games made in that era.

Is that a Samsung CRG9 on your not-so-retro computer in the left corner?

Yes it is and I love being able to have so much desktop space so I can open 3 browser windows at once!

Just bought a Apple PowerMac G4 that comes with original software and restore CDs! So I can write 3.5 floppies my Macintosh classics can read.

Awesome. I have the exact same monitor and it is absolutely epic for productivity and very cool for certain games too. For over 10 years I used a triple monitor (3 * 1920x1200) setup but last year I went to the CRG9. I can never go back...

Yeah I had 3 Samsung 4k Monitors that ran at 60hz as my triple monitor setup but got sick of every time I moved them I had to readjust them so they would look good and would drive me nuts so that's when I bought mine about 4 months ago.
