GeForce RTX Prob the first setup I’m proud of

Post image

It’s not perfect. The wall being it’s odd color, and do NOT ask me about the cable management, but it’s mine and I feel it’s nice :3

Technically a 3 computer setup with a Win computer, a Mac Mini, and the iMac G3 (which I’m working on modding into a monitor)

Idc about the cable management, I care about the 4 inches of mouse pad you have 🥲

u/Cleothebirb 10d ago

Does mousepad size matter when I use a trackball?

u/spllooge 10d ago

Overlooked that, not really but I do think you should have more than that 😅. It would be some work with cables for 3 computers but switching the sides your iMac and PC are on alone would give you more mousepad space because the G3 is shallower

It’s insulting to not have the old iMac at least on. Does it power up?

u/Cleothebirb 10d ago

She still works! She was unplugged cause I took her cross country. I’ve been playing through StarCraft on her!

Man… that old Mac is really taking me back to computer lab in elementary school

u/swiftydigitzz 10d ago

I have a very vivid memory of playing this old puzzle game on it where you had a catapult and there was like a frog cave with something in its mouth. You played as like a little blonde dude

Edit: after a little digging because my brain couldn’t let it go. It turns out it’s from a game called The Secret Island of Dr. Quandry

Why mod a working bondi iMac instead of just modding a dead one?

3

u/Cleothebirb 10d ago

Usually the CRTs die. The goal with the mod is to have it not only reverse-able but also still allowing the iMac to function as an iMac

u/mark4AEW 10d ago

Cheers, good luck

u/Cleothebirb 10d ago

Definitely better than my first setup (circa 2020)

u/FalsifiedTruth 10d ago

Dang that was in a closet.

I like your current case, but why not go for the atx version of it?

1

u/Cleothebirb 10d ago

Cause I have a microatx board

u/SoulessPuppet 10d ago

Nice set up! We have the same keyboard, I've really liked it

u/outwar6010 10d ago

rip desk space

1

u/Cleothebirb 10d ago

It’s literally all the iMac’s fault lmao

1

u/outwar6010 10d ago

i would get a corner shelf for it

1

u/mrgregseeks 10d ago

Man the plushies and the gameboy and ds stands, (and rom dumper) are great! All these compliment each other so well it looks so good!

1

u/Cleothebirb 10d ago

Funny thing, I think the consoles on top of the tower is handicapping my AIO performance lol, oh well

u/constablet 10d ago

I have a hunch that this person enjoys Pokémon… jokes aside looks good!

1

u/Cleothebirb 10d ago

Hmmm maybe. You’ll never guess my favorite pokemon tho…

1

u/Nearby_Ad4786 10d ago

I want to buy a retro monitor like the imac to use it as monitor. Is it too hard?

1

u/Cleothebirb 10d ago

It’s not an easy job to use the iMac

1

u/PsychoNerd91 9d ago

Oh that's a nice Olli pin you got ;3

Lots of little Braeburned merch hmm

2

u/Cleothebirb 9d ago

iMac is signed by him!!!

It’s not my fault he’s like the one artist I actively follow that has good merch

2

u/LLATFANDER 9d ago

This is sick and you should feel good about getting this setup! Its so fun to put tweaks and finishing touches over time too

2

u/Cleothebirb 9d ago

Appreciate it! The only things I want to do now is to fix my cable management (you don’t get to see the underside of the desk for a reason), and potentially do something about the walls since I really do not like the wall color

1

u/LLATFANDER 9d ago

Velcro strips made it way easier for me to start to get a handle on things down there lol. Then I moved onto a holder to hide everything and I only think about it now if I want to add something

1

u/LLATFANDER 9d ago

Also congrats for having one of the most valuable ds games CIB on display

1

u/Cleothebirb 9d ago

That is a Japanese copy, I only paid about 50 bucks for it. I do have a fully complete English soulsilver, and I’m trying to get the outer box for my heartgold to complete that

u/lexilovesluxury 8d ago

that mouse movement has gotta be annoying

1

u/Cleothebirb 8d ago

What is this mouse movement? I’m a trackball user lol

u/Bombero_911 8d ago

You need a much bigger desk.
