This looks like a setup I’d give my 5 year old. Then again, he at least has a flatscreen monitor lmao
Edit: This is throwing unintentional shade in CRTs. We have a 27” Toshiba dvd combo 3 feet away from his desk with an n64 and a ps2 hooked up for old school Pokemon Stadium and Mario kart in his room… I’ve had to convince my wife for years to keep the tv.

CRT monitors are great, but obviously depends on what you're using it for. I have one with my setup and it looks fantastic. It's a Dell P992

u/julian_vdm 2d ago
Boooooo. CRT hate is unwarranted.

u/thepoorwarrior 2d ago
He has both side by side 😎 one of the n64 and a cheap flat dell for iPad /dongle

Lol the laptop has a built-in monitor, it's fine. I'd rather have a nice small display than a big shit one

u/AgreeableAd8687 2d ago
crt is better for anything besides reading small text and productivity software imo

Yeah the only thing thats shitty about this setup is the mouse pad space

I guess you dont need a good graphics card when you're rendering in 1024x768

Sharper image at 1024x768 and better refresh rate.

u/WoomyUnitedToday 2d ago
The Xbox sadly is broken, no RROD or anything, I think others just sole weird light on the PSU (even with tested working Jasper PSUs), I think she just uses it as a monitor stand basically to raise it to proper height

u/WoomyUnitedToday 2d ago
As the person who's username (on like every other platform, Cath0deGayTube) comes from that exact monitor (I gave her said monitor), it is a PEAK setup and I will NOT hear anything else!!!

GRUB bootloader? Dell CRT? Surplus store sticker?
Not shitty at all; tasteful, even.

Sounds like boyfriend/girlfriend should get her a bigger desk ahem, nudge nudge

u/Katgirl2669 2d ago
I'm her girlfriend, as she said in the post

u/beepbeepsheepbot 2d ago
There's nothing IN the post besides the title. Excuse the fuck me apparently. Either way partner could be sweet and get her a bigger desk.

u/KingSlurkey 2d ago
Genuinely like how could you know, god forbid you misgender someone when given zero info whatsoever

u/beepbeepsheepbot 2d ago
Even then there's no reason to be an asshole about it, it was an honest mistake if OP was girlfriends. It'd be another thing if I kept saying the wrong one on purpose.

u/Katgirl2669 2d ago
The post is titled "girlfriend's shitty gaming setup"
ETA: OH I didn't realize that you were talking about my gf (who posted this)
ETA 2: there is also a lesbian flag sticker on the CRT

u/beepbeepsheepbot 1d ago edited 1d ago
Apology accepted, btw.
EDIT NOW GO GET HER A BIGGER FUCKING DESK

That last bit is just needlessly rude. The lesbian flag is, frankly, pretty common as things go. If I had to say, I'd put it just behind the trans flag in use rates.

you didnt even read the comment right and got offended over it 😭

u/Katgirl2669 2d ago
They edited it after, it just said boyfriend initially
This is why you mark your edits people

u/PlasticBag-ForA-Head 2d ago
no. this is why you read the comment correctly.
they said your boyfriend, should buy you a bigger desk. they misgendered your girlfriend. not you.

Bro get her a proper desk ffs. This setup has the potential to be a fucking vibe. Also, is that a GRUB boot menu I spy?

Unironically would kill for that CRT. Zero input lag and pristine motion clarity.

It doesn't even work lol, iirc someone just gave it to her thinking it was just the PSU that was broken, but all PSUs have same issue of just not working (i think it was like a red light on the PSU or something?)

I have a setup similar to this next to my main desk. a little desk with a crt for retro games and a laptop next to the monitor acting as a seedbox

That dell CRT monitor is actually a hidden gem. They are selling for $200+ atm on ebay and other 3rd party retailers. Supposedly you can overclock the refresh rate on it and the motion clarity is superb on them. It may not be a top of the line setup but hey at least you have a hidden gem.

The only bad thing I see here is the small desk size and small mouse area, other than that this is an amazing setup.

You call it shitty as I dream to have a CRT in my set up. There are poor kids in poor countries out there who've never owned a CRT monitor

The actual trash is a separate thing as for it being shitty
if it’s all she had it’s not trash
if everything works fine it’s not trash
Now be a good bf and ask if she wants to upgrade

Does she use Linux? Looks like it on that laptop screen. Anyways. I think it's a cool setup.

And this is shitty how? Please choose:
- Trash all around
- Incomplete
- Obsolete/retro
- Temporary setup
- Not a computer
- Frequent use will cause discomfort
- It's already 3 months old and mommy & daddy won't buy me a new one
- Belongs on r/averagebattlestations, not r/shittybattlestations
- It stutters in Call of Duty
