A gaming enthusiast has installed an Elgato video capture device tucked into the back of their desk, fed by a 2x1 HDMI switch. One input runs to a Pentium II tower, the other to a retro console cart housing an Xbox, NES, PS1 and PS2, with the signal converted from RCA to HDMI.

Why now: People enjoy seeing clever, compact desk builds that combine retro consoles with modern capture gear.
