+## Machines
+
+- Thinkpad X220, **Laptop**:
+  - *i5-2540M, 8GB of RAM, IPS Panel*
+  - Secondary development machine running Archlinux.
+  - Two different boot config: with and without CPU mitigations for maximum 
+    performance.
+
+- Thinkpad X220, **Laptop**:
+  - *i5-2540M, 16GB of RAM, TN Panel*
+  - OpenBSD development laptop running -current.
+  - One of the right USB slot has been scrapped and replaced with a USB Type-C
+    female slot that I hand soldered myself (useful for Yubikeys, as the 
+    motherboard only supports USB 2.0 for that slot).
+
+- Dell XPS 9370, **Laptop**:
+  - *i7-xxx?, 16GB of RAM, Touchscreen + 4K + glossy*
+  - *Was* my main machine for university, running Archlinux and Sway.
+  - Bedrocklinux with Archlinux + Voidlinux lived some months on it.
+  - Not used currently: mixed DPI on X11 gives me headaches with external
+    screens, suckless trapped me, and there `dwl` is nowhere near `dwm`. And
+    the screen resolutions of old Thinkpad is good enough for me!
+
+- Custom-built computer, **Desktop**:
+  - *Ryzen 1600, 16GB of RAM, 512GB of NVME storage*
+  - Primary development machine running Archlinux.
+  - Used for casual gaming.
+  - Lives in a server case and in my server rack!
+
+- Dell R710 Gen II, **Server**:
+  - *48GB of RAM*
+  - OpenBSD hypevisor for my virtual machines and homelab.
+  - Is usually running 24/7 behing my VPN.
+  - Internal SSD for the system has been glued in the DVD slot, and is used as
+    the system disk for OpenBSD.
+  - Fans are always slowed down to reduce the noise impact in my office.
+
+- Sun X4170, **Server**:
+  - *32GB of RAM*
+  - Currently unused!
+
+## Accessories
+
+
+- HHKB Professial Classic, **Keyboard**:
+  - *ANSI and US layout*
+  - Buying such keyboard should be considered as an investment. It has been 
+    worth it for me.
+
+- Focusrite Scarlett Solo, **Sound card**:
+  - *Gen II*
+  - I/O for my headset and microphone
+
+- DT 770 Pro, **Headset**:
+  - *80 Ohm version*
+
+- two Benq xxx?, **Monitor**:
+  - dual-screen for my primary development machine.
+
+
+## Miscellaneous
+
+- Rotring 600, **Pencil**:
+  - *black, 0.5mm*
+  - A very high quality body. However the results depend on what mine you choose 
+    to put in it.
