My 2020 home office

BTW I had installed Windows 8 on that HP laptop for a time. Was a lot faster than the default OS. And since Windows 8 was very pen friendly, it suited the hardware well. I did eventually install the default OS before selling it.

No chairs?

Not for the photo

Beautiful collection and staging!!!
I have a similar collection but it’s spread throughout my rec room…. The wife wouldn’t go for the massive mega desk of doom I envisioned lol

Man I wish I had a basement...
electrowiz64@reddit
my biggest regret was not making more use of my time enjoying my retro tech before the GREAT RTO

Okay, took some photos this morning:

It's blasphemy connecting an lcd display to an Atari.
Current_Yellow7722@reddit (OP)
Only so many CRTs left.
max81122@reddit
Yeah, CRT's take up quite a lot of space. And some of them flicker and bother my eyes. LCD's are just easier. But, for those systems needing a lightgun the CRT's are needed. And, my Amiga 1000 or C128D looks awesome with a CRT on top of it. Wouldn't be the same.
Current_Yellow7722@reddit (OP)
Absolutely! Using Crt for my old game console.

I can smell, and hear this room.
Mostly smell, but also, .. no it’s just the smell.
FAMICOMASTER@reddit
I'm jealous of how much space your office has
max81122@reddit
Me as well. I wish I had the room to showcase some vintage gear. I have quite the collection but can't show more than a couple systems. Just restored an SX-64 and she's a beauty... in storage.
To OP... very nice setup. Enjoy it, and show the younger generation the awesomeness of the past.
Current_Yellow7722@reddit (OP)
It's the basement of our house, so there's lot of room. Wife has the house, I get the basement 😃
FAMICOMASTER@reddit
Lol I don't think my entire house has an open space that big
BeardInTheNorth@reddit
Wild. I actually had a dream about having a similar home office. One giant perimeter desk with various battle stations one can sit at.
If this was 2020, can I ask what your office looks like now?
Current_Yellow7722@reddit (OP)
The other day I posted a current image of part of it, the Coleco ADAM. Maybe I'll take a photo and link it here, in the comments.
GOGcom@reddit
My dream
hornedfrog86@reddit
All that space!
AllReflection@reddit
I love it!
ZappaLlamaGamma@reddit
The Adam. A+

At some point it stops being an office and becomes a museum.
Current_Yellow7722@reddit (OP)
No, it's both since I was working down there.
-_ZeroCool_-@reddit
No, you just work in a museum
Used-Armadillo2863@reddit
Looks like a mish mash of computers from a middle school computer class.
BastardBitchBloodyNO@reddit
You should no joke host weekly LAN parties here. I'd come by.
masetiloquetu@reddit
the HP has a track point?
andrej___@reddit
I see Atari but no Amiga? -.-
Jerezer1985@reddit
Dear God, if I had that kind of setup I would be so happy. My home office is not nearly as much space as that and I have to share it with my wife.
Electronic_Algae_524@reddit
Can I come and play at your house? 😉
Starryguy76@reddit
I have 23 iMacs, and 20 PCs and tablets. I have 19 monitors and HDTVs. Most are for just fooling around with on line stuff, but I have four stations for flight simulators. It got out of hand about 28 years ago.
gamersonlinux@reddit
Wow Impressive! So many computers from so many generations!
I had 6 PCs in my office at one point for LAN gaming. Miss those days...
STfanboy1981@reddit
I've had dreams of having a room like this.
Current_Yellow7722@reddit (OP)
It was.. a little slice of computing heaven .
Punch_Your_Facehole@reddit
Awesome collection! Where did you get the desks?
Current_Yellow7722@reddit (OP)
Ah, they were going to throw them out at a place I worked. They are heavy AF
macrolinx@reddit
Love that Rocketeer poster.
SaltSkill336@reddit
Amazing.
datewestwind@reddit
Wooowww
Arael15th@reddit
