My setup is never that tidy which is why it's not allowed in "Public" rooms such as the living room. I'm told not everyone likes seeing a bunch of old dusty hardware with cables going everywhere!?

Does that wall have a fireplace in it? And what kind of table is that such that it's so long and narrow? It fits perfectly.

Yup, there is a fireplace there. It's never been used (at least as long I've lived here), so I figured I'd make use of the space by building a desk in front of it.

The table itself is built from an Ikea countertop and wooden legs. It's about 8 feet wide (~2.4m) and a little over 2 feet deep (~0.7m). It's supported by four legs along the back which are cut down to fit on top of the hearth.

Beautiful! I'd feel right at home there.

Thank you! I do really like the wood/stone combination of this particular space.

There is some cable mess under the table, though it's cleverly hidden in that picture via a carefully chosen angle. 😉

My mancave.

I love how this whole photo is like a scavenger hunt of cool stuff to find. I noticed the vintage calculator there as well.

Rearranged my space again)

On the left is Amiga 3000, between them place, where I sometimes change computers - now it's 286/20/VGA with earlу 90's VGA display, on the right - 3 machines connected to one display/keyboard by KVM switch - P1 by Digital, 286/16mhz/vga and a PIII/700mhz on Asus P3bf) 4 displays stored under tables - one EGA and 3 VGA....

It's been a while. Setting up my vintage PC area again.

Systems are:
XPS 8940 (RTX-3070)
XPS 8500 (GTX970)
XPS 720 H2C (No clue, plan for 2x GTX 290 GX2)
XPS 600 (2x GTX 7800 + PhysX)
Poweredge SP590-2 (It's a server, who cares)
XPS 466v (Number NIne GXE VLB)
XPS P60 (Empty slot, empty Socket4)
XPS P90c (Unkown)
Custom Uber-486 (Diomond Viper PCI?)
Custom Uber-P1 (Can't remember at all)
XPS T700r (GF2 Ultra + 2x V2000 PCI)
XPS 1000R Special Edition (GF256 64MB)
Dimension XPS (Gen1) (Another burned out 6800)
Powermac G4 (ATI Radeon 32MB)
Custom AGP-Benchmarker (Who knows what's in it now)

I'm sensing a slight theme there... you're a Compaq fan right? 🤣

Is your first name Michael by any chance? Nice collection.

CRT's, midi modules, few nice old rigs, very nice!

Few of us do, I myself have a Poweredge 1950 with a pair X5160's and 32GB of RAM, maxing the thing out running Win2k server and a R210 running 2003 Server
idrac is so much nicer then HP's ilo as well

What is that chunky desk? Is it also vintage? Because it matches the aesthetic perfectly.

thanks ! Amiga is a nice platform to explore and use) I bought an MSX Yamaha-II recently but finally sold it to another collector as it didn't seem to me as interesting as Amiga... Amiga has some very unique charm)... I regret selling A2500HD in 2012, but at least I managed to save that A3000 - it has SCSI->SD device that allows file exhange to be easy... Besides games installed music making and other software on it)

well I like all kind of vintage stuff not only somputers, have some real old oficially antique stuff, mostly at my contry place, like old cameras, 19 centrury pocket watches, oil lamps, late 19 century tea boxes, etc... but these are two common Ikea tables from 2000's)

This is my quite poorly organized setup - the computers range from Pentium III to Ivy Bridge i5.

Unfortunately, I might have to replace the CRT monitor with an LCD at some point, because the CRT has a very annoying issue where it turns itself off at random times.
