    Default What do you actually have set up?

    So, I recently decided that I'm gonna make a semi-permanent setup with all of my computers soon. I plan on having a bit of everything from the 80s and might post pictures when I can get the room spruced up.

    There's no real order, but I guess you can call the first table the "70s in the 80s Table." It has an Atari 800XL, Mattel Aquarius, and TI-99/4a on it. All are systems that either had their original version in the 70s or belonged there (Aquarius' nickname was "The System for the 70s despite its 1983 release.)

    Second table was originally going to be Atari ST and Amiga 3000, but I decided to make it sort of an Apple vs. PC thing and put a IIGS next to a Tandy 1000.

    Third table is a work in progress, but I suppose it could be called "Big in Europe." It's a VIC-20, C64, and ZX Spectrum+.

    Fourth table will be themed as "The Misfits." On this one will be an MSX2, a Tomy Tutor and a Timex Sinclair 2068.

    It's so nice to have them all setup at once, real fun when they're all on.

    Got me beat, I've got a laptop from a few years ago -- ASUS K53E-XR3 = http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrab...pecifications/
    i5-2410M 2.3ghz(ups to 3ghz w/games etc), 6GB of RAM DDR3-1333mhz, Intel HD 3000 graphics (uses up to 1.7GB of ram, equals benchmark a radeon 5450), DVDRW, and various other things, all I think it really lacks is bluetooth. Currently been using for the last year a trackball on it I found at a goodwill for a couple bucks and was surprised to see ebay weirdos paying $50-70 on it at the time but I like it so I kept it.

    I have an older PC I handed over to my wife for her photoshop and general use, a Dell from 2007, quad core 2.6ghz machine with a 2GB radeon video card in it, 7in1 card reader, couple of optical drives, it's not bad, damn good it has lasted so well this long. :P

    My laptop is really a desktop, don't like to carry it, so I use my Nexus7 w/keyboard to go around with.

    Sadly, all I've got set up right now are my wife's laptop (Asus ROG gaming rig), and my Macbook.

    I have no classic stuff just a Dell XPS 410 an Hp Firebird 802 (thats the gaming rig with sli water cooling etc has voodoo pc dna!) and an alienware m17 laptop for some gaming as well

    Hoping to upgrade to something new before bothering with any old stuff not to mention I'd likely need an extra room to house such things. Would like some atari and apple gear

    I have a couple of classic computers currently set up. Right now I have a C64, SX-64, and an Amiga 500 setup in our gameroom. Our gameroom also has an Atari 7800, Genesis with the Power Base Converter so we can play SMS carts as well, RES (NES), PS2, and a Colecovision. I also have a laptop set up with Windows 98 SE. These classic computers compliment my modern desktop and 2 tablets.
