Idk what part to explain but I can break down my setup:
Computers
Desktop:
CPU: Ryzen 3700x
GPU: RTX 3070Ti
RAM: 24GB DDR5? I cant quite remember
OS: Linux Mint/Windows 11/Hackintosh (broken) tri-boot. Mint because I’m too lazy these days for Arch
CASE: Hollowed out modded Mac G5 Chassis
Main day-to-day Computer
MODEL: 14” MacBook Pro M3 Pro 18GB RAM
Work Laptop (mounted under desk for storage, swapped out with personal laptop during the week)
MODEL: 16” MacBook Pro M1 Pro
That screen in the corner of the second photo
MODEL: Mac Mini 2014
PURPOSE: Proxmox Backup Server for my servers in the basement
There’s also an HDMI over CAT5e/6 receiver and an HDMI switch connected to one of my servers in the basement but it’s not really used right now. Trying to figure out how to setup a KVM switch that can switch between my basement servers but haven’t put too much time into it yet
Displays:
Main
MODEL: Asus <something> 4K 160hz
Secondary
MODEL: Cheap Amazon 4K 60hz
I switch between the laptops and the desktop with a DisplayPort KVM switch. The laptops get plugged into a powered USB C/Thunderbolt dock that one display is connected to (for some reason my M3 pro doesn’t like my second monitor though so it’s always just black)
Random Stuff:
Greg Sestero signed Big Shark by Tommy Wiseau poster
2012 Macbook Pro Retina (got me through school along with a Thinkpad I sold o7)
Bong collection from back when I smoked
Model trains
Cool beer cans
Stupid amount of old laptops and computers piled up in various locations
IBM 5151 Display (the corresponding computer is in my closet)
Alright, firstly that’s an excellent spec/hardware list. Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed reading through it.
Second, I should have been more specific. I really meant to ask why you arranged things the way you did. In my head, I’m being critical of the setup, but I thought you probably had reasons for why you arranged it the way you did and I didn’t want to be negative 😅
I’m going to need an explanation. Lol

Let me know if you have any questions!
