Mac Setups: Mac Pro and a VT220

[Geek]

<div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/vt220-mac-pro.jpg" alt="Mac Pro and VT220" title="vt220-mac-pro" width="620" height="413" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20162" /></p>

<p>I’m not sure this qualifies for a traditional <a href="http://osxdaily.com/category/mac-setups/">Mac setup</a> post but it’s neat enough that it has to be posted. You’re looking at a Mac Pro with an old school VT220 connected to it functioning as a terminal, as you can see it’s working just fine too, running the ‘top’ command to show off the Mac Pro’s stats.</p>

<p>If this strikes your fancy, you can <a href="http://jstn.cc/post/8692501831">read more about how to set one up yourself on Jstn.cc</a></p>

<p>Just for fun, here’s the workstation minus the VT220 terminal, with just a Mac Pro, Cinema Display, and an iPad. It looks a bit lonely without the VT220:</p>

<p>This <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/06/25/mac-setup-macbook-pro-15-with-apple-cinema-display/">isn’t the first</a> Tumblr employee setup we’ve posted either, something about their service just breeds cool offices and nice Mac setups with great hardware.</p>
