Title: What is your amiga/computer room like?
Post by: runequester on August 26, 2012, 05:44:21 PM
Tell us about the room(s) where your amiga(s) are set up.

Is it the same as your other computers or separate?
Is it a commodore shrine or a functional work space?
Many retro machines or just amiga's?


Pictures are welcome too, of course.

It's one wall of the living room in my apartment, against which I have placed, in order: my record cabinet and turntable, my MicroPDP-11/23+, the desk which holds its terminal and the monitor for my Power Mac, and the desk which holds my Amiga, my 386DX tower, and my two desktop PCs (P3-era Athlon gaming machine and Core 2 Duo work/storage micro-desktop.)

Still need to find room for my MSX, iMac G4, SE/30, and Tandy 1000RL...

Mine looks like a junk yard at the moment.

Walk in and to your right is a book case full of Amiga floppy disks and ZIP100 disks with a boxed C64C floppy drive, a multitude of keyboards and some Amiga/C64 PSUs balanced on top.  The right wall has 3 desks with an A4000, FPGA Arcade, C64C+Chameleon+2xFloppies+tape, space for my HP i7 laptop, network printer, modem and router.  Under the desks are 3 C64s, a C-One and enough cables to stretch to the Moon and back.  The facing wall has 2 desks, the first one has an A2000, my Minimig v1.1 and my main PC desktop and the other one has my PET 8032+2 dual floppies+tape and my C128D, under which live 3 old HP laptops, 2 old PC towers and a collection of CRTs.  Left hand wall is storage with 2 massive book racks and a load of stacked plastic draws containing all sorts of bits and pieces along with an A3000, 2xA1200s in towers, a A1200 wedge, Philips CDi+FMV, CD32, C128 and my boxed software.  The center of the room has a large table overflowing with more parts, disassembled PC towers and god knows what else.

I'm really looking forward to moving next year and having a brand new room with specially made desks and storage where I can arrange things into an order like 8 bit on one wall, FPGA and Amiga stuff on another, PCs somewhere else and 1 area for "organised" storage.

I'll have an X1000 to try and cram in there soon.  I think the A4000 might have to move to a shelf (assuming I can find room on a shelf).
