Thank you to Vernal for sponsoring, check out their new Core3 series at bit.ly/3Po36Ag (USA) bit.ly/4uN5SPV (UK)! ~ I miss my old desk. I don't mean a recent desk, I mean my 1996 PC desk. It was tiny, it was cramped, and it had a hulking 486 desktop computer atop of it. But, it was glorious. I decided that I need the peak 90s desk setup back in my life, so in this video, I decided to recreate it.

Thank you so much to the amazing @saradietschy for helping evaluate the sheer 90s sophistication of this setup.
