Here’s a shot of my retro cave. There’s Commodore 64C, my Windows 10 PC with a NMB PC-122, a flat CRT with a IBM Model M SSK (switchable between a few retrocomputers, a Pentium in the photo), and my IBM 5150 PC with Model F XT.

I don't know what I like better. The computers or Mario in the racoon suit. Nice set up!

That's impressive man! But the lack of Amiga 1200 is disturbing!

That's a nice hobby room. I really enjoy the look of the IBM 5150, 80s machines are so pretty

Well spotted. Did you know they use them on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine?

I had no idea! Only found out about those chairs 5 years ago. Wanted one ever since but couldn't justify buying one. They cost between 900 and 1200€ here which is about the same as average monthly wage in my country.

Not sure if it helps for this particular type, but a lot of the fancy sort-of-ergonomic office chairs have a brisk used trade, often at 20-30 percent of new price. Many large cities will have a few dealers that specialize in used office furniture, or sometimes you can get them online.
A lot of companies buy 200 fancy chairs, then go bust or merge and scrap them all because the new corporate colour doesn't match.
