I have the whole thing connected to the Belkin SoHo KVM with my Windows 11 PC (behind the cabinet on the left) and my NUC that I use as a home lab server (on top of the Blu-ray drive on the right)

A blog post on the build will be forthcoming but feel free to suggest games and software I should load onto or AMA about the system.

It was a really fun project

    Do they make (or did they make cuz I probably can’t get a brand new one) widescreen CRTs? I would love to use a CRT again, but I don’t wanna go back to 4:3 ratio. For that matter: is there any CRT that uses HDMI? Cuz I just realized that’s the only output my GPU has lol

      There were a few widescreen Carts but they were super expensive. The coolest was actually two 4:3 tubes in one bezel.
