You really want to see it? Alright then...
This is my mini storage room for various tech/hardware. The i7 Mac Mini Server I showed earlier is just behind me. Also elsewhere in the office is a 2006 white Macbook, a Powerbook G5, an i5 Lenovo ThinkCentre, a Pentium Lenovo PC, two NAS drives, some routers, and this old '07 24" iMac on the shelf.
This is my main work area or 'hack space' - the metal table you see in front of you is over 2.5m long x 1m wide x 1m high and is custom made. The Z270 Asus Prime A build sits just to the right and is connected to three RAID drives, a Drobo 5D, Areca RAID and Pegasus R4 setup, connected to a 32" 4K monitor. I've been using RAID drives for more than two decades, starting with Adaptec Ultrawide SCSI cards on Pentium WinNT 4.0 with 6 x 500MB Quantum drives. The Z270 will soon be replaced by the B550 Vision D as soon as its ready. One of the main reasons why I use Hackintosh is because my studio often works with very large files (ie. between 500MB-2GB each) and Apples offerings are just not up to scratch when it comes to handling them. When you normally work with 32GB of RAM and a highly upgradeable setup (PC) compared to M1 Macs limited to just 16GB of RAM and small fixed storage, it kind of leaves you wanting.
My 3rd desk (where I often test my new system builds or do 3D printing) with an old 10.9 i7 Mac Mini below. Here I'm testing Big Sur 11.4 on my old GA-Z170N WiFi board. The mice are for the 3 other machines nearby, a Lenovo Win10 PC for admin stuff, the B550 Vision D I'm working on and an old HP Kaby Lake laptop. The Atari ST mousepad is a custom one I'd had specially made because I'd been a ST user for many years.

Great! A bit like one of those Hidden Object games. I only spotted the iMac on the shelf in the top photo when I scrolled back up.

@Middleman and @phunguss are definitely the Gods of the untidy desk, masters of chaos and knotted cables.

Sorry to disappoint you again Craig, but I've now got a standing desk setup. Was sitting for too many hours. It won't stay this clean forever, just set it up yesterday.
