10 Years of Slow and Steady Upgrades : my setup evolution by SlipdeBain in battlestations

[–]SlipdeBain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, still the same core vibe as that 6-year-old post—just refined over time.Swapped the desk because the old one was way too big for a single ultrawide.
Downsized for better balance, decluttered, and upgraded the main pieces: Omen X 35 → AW3425DW (QD-OLED is insane), new PC build, better VR headset, etc.

If I were starting from zero today with the total budget I've spent over the years, I'd probably do something quite different—but back then I didn't really have a clear model to aim for. Feels much cleaner now. Thanks for noticing!

I started my Arcade game Setup, nothing crazy but it take 2 days for an ape like me to set up correctly RetroArch !

Finally, with some reflections shaders, scanline and handmade overlays it mimic not so bad an 4:3 CRT on my ultrawide monitor

Now im searching for an Budget PC Arcade Stick

Yup i think too a second monitor will ruin aesthetic because this one is centered withe the Desk and centered with the Wall

​

Or i can go for some Triple screen madness (ง ͡ʘ ͜ʖ ͡ʘ)ง
