I'm going to need an explanation. Lol
Idk what part to explain but I can break down my setup:
Computers
Desktop:
CPU: Ryzen 3700x
GPU: RTX 3070Ti
RAM: 24GB DDR5? I cant quite remember
OS: Linux Mint/Windows 11/Hackintosh (broken) tri-boot. Mint because I’m too lazy these days for Arch
CASE: Hollowed out modded Mac G5 Chassis
Main day-to-day Computer
MODEL: 14” MacBook Pro M3 Pro 18GB RAM
Work Laptop (mounted under desk for storage, swapped out with personal laptop during the week)
MODEL: 16” MacBook Pro M1 Pro
That screen in the corner of the second photo
MODEL: Mac Mini 2014
PURPOSE: Proxmox Backup Server for my servers in the basement
There's also an HDMI over CAT5e/6 receiver and an HDMI switch connected to one of my servers in the basement but it's not really used right now. Trying to figure out how to setup a KVM switch that can switch between my basement servers but haven't put too much time into it yet
Displays:
Main MODEL: Asus 4K 160hz
Secondary MODEL: Cheap Amazon 4K 60hz
I switch between the laptops and the desktop with a DisplayPort KVM switch. The laptops get plugged into a powered USB C/Thunderbolt dock that one display is connected to (for some reason my M3 pro doesn’t like my second monitor though so it’s always just black)
Random Stuff:
I also have a cheap 3D printer
Let me know if you have any questions!
Alright, firstly that's an excellent spec/hardware list. Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed reading through it.
Second, I should have been more specific. I really meant to ask why you arranged things the way you did. In my head, I'm being critical of the setup, but I thought you probably had reasons for why you arranged it the way you did and I didn't want to be negative 😅
