Post pics here of your Atari setup! I'll start this off with mine:

And, as an added bonus, here is some of my old artwork, done in Activision's Paintworks. I would do proper screen grabs if I could, but this will have to suffice for now.

I have a roughly 4-5 foot area in my bedroom right now that I eventually want to use to hook up...

 

1) my 1040 STE

2) My 600 XL

3) my Coleco ADAM

 

And hook them all up to the same TV (or monitor... May need to go TV)

 

When I get home I'll need to take a pic of what the area looks like now.

 

I need ideas on how to make this happen. Looks like a trip to Menards is in the offing...

Nice Flatscreen as well :)

can you run it out of the box on the TT or do you have a video card?

I have ET4000 videocard inside TT, but the display works nice even with standard TT VGA output.

 

It also works great with Falcon. It can handle high resolution with low horizontal frequency (around 60 Hz) which is very good for Falcons screen enhancers (CRT flickers much while TFT is steady).

Unfortunetaly it cannot handle special modes which are used mainly for demos. But for my developping and DTPing it is simply great.

Yes, it depends what you do on your machine. For relatively static screens like in a development or design environment, the longer persistence of LCD/TFT helps disguise low video refresh rates, and the geometry is perfect and never drifts, but CRT still has the advantage for colour quality, and faster pixel response for significant on-screen movement without blurring. Horses for courses, as they say.

Since you guys are being nice and including ST's, here's my messy 1040STfm setup. Poor thing has to share a desk with my 130xe but I grew up with the 8bits so I hope it understands :) There's also a huge 20mb hard drive on the floor, dang those things are bigger than I imagined before I got my ST last year.

Here is a Atari STE Setup!

I have never seen 4160STe. How it differ from ordinary STe?

 

It is actually a 1040STe upgraded with four 1MB 30-pins SIMMs inside. The case was all yellowed on it so I got a NEW 1040STe case and a 4160STe label from myatari.com :)

 

It looks like it is NEW. Ahhh the smell of a NEW ST!! :D

I'll post pics of my ST collection very soon, until then here's a text list:

 

1040STE (modified with TOS 2.06 and 2MB RAM) and working Atari mouse

 

[unknown] hard drive case with ST connector, has a working 40MB 5" drive - currently partitioned into 4 10MB logical drives

 

SC1224 color RGB monitor, old style

 

OkiMate 20 (24-pin color thermal printer)

 

sh*t loads of disks - games, pd, demos, utilities, cover disks, etc...
