It's about having fun, not winning

Is that a picture of Joji on the wall?

Is it tho when you are taking out a second mortgage to pay for the hardware in your gaming set up? /s

I mean maybe gaming is not the end goal for those types of people. Some people just like setting up and maintaining server hardware. One of my favorite things was maintaining a Team fortress classic dedicated server. It's fun watching others have fun.

I would use this setup to browse lemmy, maybe watch a yotube video or two and emulate ps1 games.

Yeah dude you gotta have some of those cushy slippers

I want this. Just build my main personal rig and a couple dedicated game servers into a single box. That would be rad as fuck. Especially if the box itself was climate controlled. Fuck, man... Maybe I'd just live in the box.

Yeah I guess you could use it for CTF in a cyber security sense as well.

couldn't be me

All I can see is the LINNMON IKEA table.

I have a smaller cabinet and thought it would be cool to put my gaming machine in a Sliger case and keep the cabinet next to my desk until the next time I had to actually use my laptop at the cabinet. Sounds like a jet compared to my gaming rig, so I decided it can continue to live in the basement. I'll get a KVM for the servers or something

That godawful generic gaming chair is the only thing that makes me angry here. Those things were designed by the devil.

Looks like the cover of "Ballads 1" but rotated 90⁰ ccw

I have a setup like that and don't even play call of duty, I mostly just run my own streaming service for friends and family plus a cloud gaming VM for when I play while I poop

I was just making a joke cuz I've never seen that much hardware in a single tower before lol but I agree with you 100%.

Yeah your joke was funny. When I worked in the data center I would see way more than that in a rack. From what I can tell it's only one server in that rack the rest is 2 drive arrays, a network switch, Two patch panels, a monitor, and an UPS.

That monitor layout would be my personal hell

I'd use it to fall asleep in my chair to 90s sitcoms on YouTube.

It's exceedingly functional! I have a similar one: main monitor for games, portrait monitor for discord/reading, and a third for videos/browser/misc.
