    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.
    What do I have set up, you say?

    Well, on my desk, I have a 1983 Atari 800XL with also a 2001 Power Mac G4, both on the same desk. XD

    I also have an Atari XEGS on a storage box that I never set up yet. That's it. lol
    My game consoles and computers:

    Atari 2600, Famicom, Super Famicom, Famicom Disk System, NES, SNES, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance SP, SupaBoy, Xbox 360, Nintendo 3DS, Atari 800XL, Atari XEGS, Sega Saturn JPN, Sega Dreamcast JPN, Sega Genesis, GameCube, DS Lite, Intellivision, Nintendo 64, Atari Flashback 1, DSi XL, Lenovo Y510p, iMac G4, HP G60.

    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.
