Like wise I have to have my screens at eye level where possible for best viewing. If it's a tad lower one trick it to put something under the front of the screen to make it tilt towards you, like a PC monitor.

What you could use is a old video recorder or VHS tapes under the monitor to higher it up. ... well it is retro too  |

Maybe I could recommend a stereo speaker that you would put on top of your monitor as I have a number on them that I use from my retro stuff... example: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GEAR-4-STREETPARTY-COMPACT-PORTABLE-SPEAKER-DOCK-FOR-IPOD-IPHONE-PG493-/332645269929?This little gear4 speaker is neat as it does "not" contain the pain in the arse rechargeable battery that they all have now! It comes with a mains adapter and you can even use normal batteries to power it. 3.5 audio-in jack on the back, vol up/down & power on the top. Easy to use and easy to move about if you have other machines and screens. From C64, Amiga, Megadrive, Sega Saturn, PSone and even a classic XBOX the sound is just about right for that localized arcade machine style sound/music when your sat on top of the screen. Bass is about right, nice and clear and wont annoy the other half who might be in a room next door watching TV. New they were £40 each. Sainsburys used to sell them but that was like 3 years ago if memory serves correct, replaced by a slightly bigger rechargeable version... There is one for £10 on the bay of e but it says it's a Manufacturer refurbished... Link: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GEAR-4-STREETPARTY-COMPACT-PORTABLE-SPEAKER-DOCKING-STATION-BLACK/273188206533?So you can get an idea on size here's one of mine, not too big, not too small either. On the face of the speaker next to the G by the gear4 logo I put a little black sticky foam pad on it as that's where the blue LED power light is. It now has a slight blue glow instead of a bright light, and I can still see if it's on or not.   |

 Meh. Neither of those speakers are vintage enough. Two words: Boom Box. Preferably with detachable speakers. |

MossFett1973, looks like your planning on sharing the love with the neighbours! As a reminder, check it doesn't use magnets if placing it near your CRT monitor. |

Ah mad, thought it was a picture from google or something. Yeah looks interesting alright, very different and worth keeping hold of if you have the space. All you need now is a copy of this on tape!  |

Impressive setup MossFett...^^
Fun to see the authentic C64 aged with the SAME color that the C64mini..they look very similar on the last pictures I think and..
...Ahhh floppys..these black plastic materials was a unique feeling when manipulated!
CD's now are a bit 'cold' compared to these good ol 5,25 :-)) !!
