Found a photo from 2007 of the gaming corner here in the computer room, back when the C64 was setup on the desk. (It's on the shelf, atm.)

My newly dual-headed Atari 520ST system.

I've had this color setup for years now, but recently added an SM124 monochrome 72Hz 640x400 display and HD emu.

Just unpacked the Atari SM124 monitor and am trying it out on the 520ST. Looks razorsharp, paper white, and beautiful! It's a 12-inch monochrome CRT from 1985 allowing a 640x400 display.
