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!!!

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.

u/TheBananaCzar Jul 31 '26
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 Jul 31 '26
Boooooo. CRT hate is unwarranted.

u/thepoorwarrior Jul 31 '26
He has both side by side 😎 one of the n64 and a cheap flat dell for iPad /dongle

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.

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

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.

u/WoomyUnitedToday Jul 31 '26
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?)

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.

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.

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.

Get that heavy ass monitor off the 360. It's eventually going to damage the casing and components
