Boss finally bought Vari cable trays for me and the three other guys in the department who just got new desks, and given that I leave this weekend for a week and a half of vacation, I figured I'd screw around a little and finally clean up my cable management.  I know I could probably do something different with the vertical monitor's cabling but honestly I don't really care enough to undo all the wrapping and such.  At this point it's functional and clean enough for me.

Thought I should share my little streaming setup. 

For the main monitor, I would use something a little more... era appropriate, but this 1920x1080 one is the same resolution as my stream so it makes video capture/passthrough far easier. I have classic 2000s Dell multimedia speakers, and the keyboard and mouse are nothing spectacular. Just decent HP OEM peripherals that are nice and quiet so the mic (Zoom H1N) does not pick them up.

The monitor to the left is connected to a Z620 Workstation from HP, which does all the heavy lifting of conversion, upscaling, and encoding. I have two DVI cables next to the capture box so I can connect whichever computer I am using easily. The HP system has a Quadro 2000 graphics card, Xeon E5-2690, and 32GB of RAM. It was my main CAD workstation for many years until I replaced it recently with a newer and higher-end z840 model.

 

There are two computers I stream from, custom-built by yours truly. The top and most frequently used one is for XP software. This system features a 500GB Barracuda 7200.7 loaded with XP Service Pack 3, Gigabyte GA-M51GM motherboard, Athlon 64 X2 6000+ CPU overclocked to 3255mhz, 2GB DDR2-800, and GeForce 6800 PCIe with a silent aftermarket cooler. I have two optical drives for physical games - the top one a 52x CD burner, the bottom one a 4x DVD-ROM (of which the faceplate is removed so the tray does not get stuck ejecting). 

The system below is a bit newer and more powerful, featuring a Core 2 Quad Q9650 at 3.4ghz, 4GB of DDR2-1066 OCd to 1100mhz, two Quadro FX 4800 (9800 GT but cheaper) in SLI, and a Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty all on an XFX nForce 780i SLI motherboard. Amazing board for overclocking, has three chipsets because why not. This runs Windows 7 from a RAID 0 array of two WD RE2 SATA server drives. In the front panel I have a single DVD drive and the front panel IO for the Sound Blaster card, as well as a small LCD screen I installed in this case for temp monitoring.

All of the hardware you are seeing here was saved from ewaste (except for the microphone, mouse pad, and a few cables) so this entire setup cost me <$50. I love streaming/recording old games from original hardware because VMs are lame.

That's my old X-fi though right?

ok finally finished my new build. this will make the sweaty enthusiasts cringe but for my build when I first got it... I didn't have the right screwdriver so I was using other objects. I finally got one later on and a screw was stripped. LOL. How did i fix it? well I just ripped it off. I mean the metal piece connected to the motherboard. This was just the cover for all the m.2 drives so nothing was affected. but don't worry it gets better.

before me ripping it off I keep trying to see if I could just move the cover and put my m.2 drives in.... it kind of worked but I ended up getting that sticky stuff on top of the cover in my bottom pcie slot. 

LMFAO. so I don't think I can use that one. but the worst part is that this "building experience" went 10x better than my last one.

 

also I didn't know motherboards cannot handle ddr5 in all 4 slots so I couldn't use the full 6000mhz speed and instead went with 5600.

Spoiler

And yes, the backplate is staying off.

[bottleneckedbuilder]

i made the bottleneck 6969

 

there are no pics because they are not worth it

 

intel pentium g640 

 

and then a fucking 3060

250gb hdd

 

idk sdd

[Lordmage]

well i won my current daily driver had to replace the ram and do a fresh OS install.

some bios settings where not properly configured for my use case and performance took a hit.

the specs are in my signature link 

[EpochMedia]

PC specs in sig. 

 

Retro setup is on a Sony PVM 20M4U. SNES Mini is RGB modded, PS1 and Dreamcast are modded with ODEs and the PS2 is softmodded to read games off my NAS. All have also been modded where necessary to run off USB-C from a GaN charger. 

 

Console setup is LG C1 65", Denon AVR-S940H receiver and 7.1 speaker setup.

@WallacEngineering Notice how everyone else had pictures of their setups, but you can't take a picture of an imagined memory so he used words. Either that or his older brother / dad wont let him use/take pics of his stuff.

Woah this mention came out of literally nowhere. I imagine you are a part of the other thread?

 

See thats what I don't understand about the modern internet. Why would anyone lie about their setup to strangers who don't even know you especially when low-end setups can be pretty dope too?

 

Welp, guess that solves that question

I am from Fiji and ambient thermals here are ridiculous (24-30 degrees), tropical clients + dust don't help the thermals either. 

That is partially the reason i don't have the top cover on for the case.

New desk, mostly new setup

 

[Just.Oblivious]

Here is a quick snap of my tinkering/engineering/coding/hacking workstation:

 

 

Specs: HP EliteBook 2560P (i5-2410M, 8GB DDR3, 120 GB SATA SSD, DVD RW drive) running Pop!OS Linux.

Monitor: Dell U2515H (25" 1440p60 IPS).

 

Other items: Wooting One keyboard, Logitech G305 mouse, Edifier speakers, IKEA LED bias lighting, Flipper Zero, Anet A8 "AliExpress special" 3D printer, a dissected IKEA Smart Home sensor product with some wires poking out, a logic analyzer, and some random electronics/ESP8266/microcontroller stuff.

 

Performance is still very respectable for a 10+ year old midrange business laptop. Miraculously it still holds a 3 hour charge.
