I've posted my nerd cave before, but here's the full tour. 27" 2014 iMac, Swan M50w speakers, Music Streamer II DAC, vintage Luxo lamp, Mathmos lava lamp, 1974 rotary phone (my main phone), a 1979 arcade machine and a few other bits and pieces.

The desk itself is ex-telco. Winds up and down, and has inbuilt runners for the wires and powerboards.

Here's one shelf. Vintage marbles at the front. 1890-1920 mostly.

Sweet memories!!
My Vintage Camera Collection & Desk
Nothing major has changed regarding my main desk area. Although I have a couple more rotary dial telephones for my collection (Mustard yellow) and a wall model which out of shot. I also picked up a grey 1970s Trimphone (out of shot). I have also been collecting quite a few more cameras and vinyl albums for shelf area.
On Friday I also received my Eumig Mark 8 Projector, which I am intending to use along with my Bell and Howell 414 D Standard 8mm Cine Camera. The projector works flawlessly so far, and it came with two reels of Kodachrome film of a Airshow taken sometime in the 1960s or 70s. I am shooting a nearby WWII reenactment in the next couple of weeks and cannot wait to try out Kodak's Tri-X B&W 200 ASA film stock in the camera, to give it that 1940s WWII look.

If thats for me, I don't. One system is a dual 2.3 G5, and the other is actually a gutted G5 case, and inside I have my power strip, cable modem, and an external drive, as it is my attempt at cable management. Keeps everything hidden, yet easy to access.
This is an early, and messy pic of it while I was putting it together.
Really cool setup!
Are the orange stripes on the wall painted, decals, or wallpaper?
Because I want it.
Decals, but next time I'll use paint.Really cool setup!

Don't. You'll never get rid of the lines if you want to paint over them.
My first Mac - 2012 Mini:

My desk is still a bit of a mess after moving house, but it's getting there.
