Every nerd has their sacred space in which they enter the digital realm. Some call it a computer, others a workspace, some call it a studio, while others call it a battlestation.
Battletation setups of all shapes and sizes are seen across the world as those who've harnessed the usage of one of the most amazing technical advancements our species ever managed to produce so far to date. Between computers and the internet the way things operate has rapidly changed & evolved, vastly altering our way of life as humans on earth.
Admittedly my current setup is meager in comparison to some of the highly specialized multi-thousand dollar setups some elite nerds run... It does serve it's purpose though!
Battlestation Armaments:
Laptop - Asus k55n
Turntables - Stanton T62 + T80
Mixer - Berhinger BCD2000
Speakers - KRK Rockit 5's / KRK Rockit 10s Subwoofer
Keyboard - Yamaha KX25 Midi

Is this a microfiche reader?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
It's a non-linear editing system. Indeed, the concept is the same for the screen - whereas microfiche readers used static sheets, here they use film reels. You could make edits and play them back in real time. Amazingly, this was revolutionary at the time! Now it's far too easy with software editors.

This is the 'little system' that I sit in front of when I go into the office.
At home, it's typically just my laptop but sometimes I plug it into another monitor.
I don't have turntables though.

For my next setup that I'll hopefully build when the older AMD stuff price drops a bit more will be aiming for a multi monitor setup. Nice workstation for sure!

Get the new Ryzen CPUs - they are great value for money! I believe there's a Ryzen 5 six-core starting at $250. Gets you 6 cores 12 threads versus Intel's 4 cores 4 thread i5 for the same price.

Or I could get an AMD FX-8370 8 core for $160... :D

Or a 8-thread Ryzen 5 1400/1500X for $170/190 :) It's going to be better than FX-8370. But I'd seriously recommend the 12-thread Ryzen 5 1600X - looks like an absolute bargain for $250 and will last you for years to come.

$250 is a lot of money.. And to be fair the Ryzen stuff is overall just way more expensive..
Get an entry level Ryzen PC or build a Best of 2 Years ago rig for cheaper!

Going to replace the aging laptop here soon when I get the time to research and order parts for a new build.
Last time I built a PC from scratch is over a decade ago. Pretty neat to catch up on the hardware side of stuff. May get a TV for main monitor and two smaller side ones locally for maximum display. Pretty pumped! The smaller flat screen monitors sell on the local market for as cheap as $20. So secondary screens will be cheap.
No shame in a small battlestation. It's what you do with it that counts!
