Sweet.
What sort of disk drive was the Atari? 5 1/4"?
In any case, it looks awesome! Great mod.
My setup. Mac Pro with 20" ACD.
Dude where'd you get that desk? I've been looking for a simple corner desk.

Yes, it was a 5 1/4" Floppy drive. I have a bunch of 8-bit Atari stuff from when I was kid and that particular drive was long dead. Since my wife's iBook died I figured it would be a fun project to marry the two together.
Here is some info on the Atari 810 : http://www.atarimuseum.com/computers/8bits/400800/810/810.html
Here is a little website I put up of how I did the Mod: http://homepage.mac.com/pfletch/PhotoAlbum25.html
It's actually custom made! There's a local company here that come to your house and you design it with them around the room, and it doesn't cost that much more than a normal desk!
representing one of the hottest cars cruising the streets -- E46 M3
that's a very unique design, where did you get it from?
I posted back in August just after I ordered my Mac Pro, but never posted a pic of it.
Here's my old PowerBook setup from before (taken in March) (Flickr link)
and attached is a pic I took today of my MP. I have too many peripherals to make it look pretty. She's named "Battlestar" and my drive partitions are Galactica (MacOS) and Pegasus (Windows). Clever huh.

I'm assuming you're talking about the desk design. The desk is from Office Depot. I bought it about two years ago. I haven't seen it since. It's a desk-in-a-box and isn't the best of quality, but it fits my needs great.
Hmm, a little sacrilidgious but it's all good... Were you an Atari guy back in the day? I was a big Atari guy and I just picked up an old Apple IIe on eBay to fart around with.
Indeed I was. I actually still own several. I have an Atari 400,800,800xl,1200xl, 520ST, 1040ST and many peripherals.
Dude pop that screen open a few inches! You'll fry you displayGot new monitor + desk (really a table) and hooked my stereo up to my computer. Did have a 1200 watt sub hooked up, but its in my brothers truck. The old Performa won't turn on, but I think it needs a new PRAM battery.
I watch the temp on it, it doesnt get hot (or even warm), but if I'm really working the G4, they do get hot, and I open her up.

Haha, nice! Take a look at my network setup, you'll see I use a similar naming scheme (my iMac is Galactica, the routers are named after Cylon ships, my laptop's a Viper, and I did have something named Pegasus but it went bye-bye...kind of like the Pegasus
). Only the best show to ever grace the screen. Prometheus, Daedalus, and Korolev from Stargate? You are awesome!Haha, nice!
