Nah.
It's a generic VGA monitor, Taiwan mystery meat of the early 90s. People are not THAT desperate yet to pay 200 for that. 50 bucks tops.

Japan seems to have had beige electronics made for much longer (and not including stuff meant to be throwbacks). I've got a beige Realforce keyboard that could be (and has been) easily mistaken for a 90s or early 2000s keyboard until you see that it has Windows 10-era Start keys.

So I have an antique style desk like pic related

I can't do VESA mounts or anything like that because the edges are shallow and irregular.

Any tips on maximizing desk space and fitting a PC rig on it?

Biggest problem when putting a monitor and keyboard only barely fits and cramped because the desk is not that wide.

How can I maximize the space or add to it?

back in the day crt monitors took up a lot of depth, so it was common to need a stand or dedicated "computer desk" that let the keyboard go under it
you can still get such stands just shallower for modern displays since they're still useful as extra space in general, like to put away a kb/mouse to use the desk for other purposes, though if you're really pinched for space you could just use the kb/mouse under the stand
>>
>>108217415
if the height lines up you could add a little shelf to place the kb+mouse (maybe gut the drawer but that'd be a shame)

Frens, after years and years I really started to hate stationary stuff. I want to move constantly and do computing stuff outside. But I don't want to walk around like Inspector Gadget. I've looked up some options and the situation is kind of hopeless. I have my Samsung phone (and maybe I can add a bluetooth keyboard)

Positive: Since I need my phone anyway only keyboard is a little bit problem.
Negative: Small screen, ARM architecture + locked down Android, I can't root because of banking and stuff.

Maybe I can connect to a remote VPS or cloud or something like codespaces but it's still has a small screen.

I also considered buying a better phone but still it's still gonna be a phone after all, small screen etc. Maybe I should consider tablets or a small notebook.

Could anyone experienced say something?
>>
>>108217415
I have a desk very similar to this. I can't advise trying to turn it into a computer setup. The space for legs can't fit a normal computer chair, and you'll either be leaning really far to get to the keyboard, bumping your knees on the underside of the desk all the time, or both. Terrible experience.
>>

Thanks. It's a new case; I recently swapped out the beige case I originally ordered it with.

>>108219658
Not really. It's an FLP02 case housing an AM5 system. I just think beige is cozier and more soothing and slowly replaced everything with that colorway.

i think the first os i ever interacted with was DOS on my moms old monochrome green tandy that her secretary used for accounting. im heartbroken that the computer got thrown out about 20 years ago, but i managed to find a diskette case with a c drive backup, quicken, norton, deskmate, dos 5.0, and windows 3.1. i dont have a floppy drive atm so i cant test them, but once im done buying tools im going to start buying some older retro stuff to play around with.

im most sad that the crt is gone. even though it was a monochrome beige box, i have fond memories of it because that was the first time id ever seen a computer work.
>>
>>108236398
that's pretty cool you still have some remnants from it. after many a year of service i threw out that original family pc (the only family pc, actually, my parents almost never used it, and my only sibling/sister wasn't into computers either), "i" because it became my own computer eventually, but it replaced it, and eventually it stopped being useful even as a secondary machine.
it's funny how things tend to have a reverse bell curve in how valuable they are, like there's a point where they're so worthless people tend to throw them out, but if you keep them just a bit longer, they start to become valuable again, for nostalgia or collecting purposes.
i have a vivid memory of that machine just sitting there half-gutted on the side of the car port, a worthless beige dell box.
i kept its' crt longer, but had to give it up during a move
