8-track recorder, Sony automatic turntable, a chiming floor clock, plasma globe, lava lamp, NES, SNES, N64, Atari 2600, Wii, GameCube, PS2, Sega Genesis, VCR/DVD combo unit, Sony 5.1 surround-sound A/V receiver, Sony HAP-Z1ES music player, PS3, 16-port composite remote-controlled video switch, Xbox 360, original Xbox with a Kinect resting on top of it, and a 27" CRT TV. There are vinyl records displayed on the shelf, and screenshots and renders in picture frames on the walls, alongside a Combined Syndicates of America flag from the Hearts of Iron 4 mod "Kaiserreich".

A craptacular 2010's 1366-by-768 bedroom-sized TV, which is connected via VGA to a laltop running Arch Linux, as well as a Commodore 64 Ultimate and a GPD WIN 4 ultra-mobile PC running SteamOS. Also on the desk is a coffee mug, and a Western Electric Model 500 rotary-dial landline telephone, and in the corner is a Sony 400-CD megachanger, which is hooked up to a 2000's/late 90's Sanyo stereo as an amplifier.

Please reply to this with pictures of your sexiest retro hardware, like computer monitors and keyboards and personal electronics. I need them for a project I'm working on.

and yes, by the way, it does work (for receiving calls, which is primarily why I have it there specifically, my ATA doesn't support pulse dialing sadly)
