Some cool desktop gaming pics:

Four screens (effectively) on the MacBook Air at the office in DC.

Apple //c tied into a terminal session via serial cable, 20-inch Apple Cinema Display, and 7-inch Mimo 720-S USB display

[[ Hah -- I got Gizzed, it seems. Yea, I should've hooked up the iPhone 4 (which took this shot) and iPad into the mix via AirDisplay. And hey, don't knock the Magic Trackpad -- it beats the hell out of a mouse for all but certain games. Oh, and the Dell down there -- they make me keep it around. At least it's headless!

This is the dayjob office, btw. The home office setup is here... ]]

UPDATE: This *was* the dayjob office. In January I left all that behind (well, I brought the hardware home with me!) and am now self-employed, working on TouchArcade.com full time. And it’s awesome.

I just liked the monitor lighting while watching ‘Lost In Translation’.

    is the MacBook Air connected to the ADC display? How did you do it, obviously you have to use the ADC-DVI adaptor and then is it just the simple mini display port connector into the MBA?

    Technology sure has come a long way! I remember the first Macs I used would have been…I dunno, the Performa series or something? Whatever it was, it was from the early ’90s.

    You made gizmodo!

    Not only Macs and screens, looking at the small details, this setup is SO geeky. I love it!

    Would love some details on the IIc serial term setup!

    This photo was on the latest Retro Mac Cast too Blake. There sure is a lot to love in this photo!

    Yeah – ditto on the terminal login via serial. V cool. Would love to run some terminal games over a network using old kit.

  14. Lee Mills says:

    looks awesome! Would also love to know how the terminal session via serial works

    Awesome!

    What specs does your MBA have? Just half-curious and half-in awe.

  17. blakespot says:

    CalvinTheLoh: It’s an 11-inch Air, 1.6GHz, 4GB RAM and 128GB SSD. I think it’s my favorite Mac of all.

    OMG! That’s the elastic band that I found on the floor in the tinned veg aisle at our local Tesco Store…Would you believe it? And… NO…you’re not having it back!…. finders keepers!
