Today I bought iMac powered by 1.9 Ghz G5 processor with 2 GBs of ram.
PowerPC for the win!

PowerPie5000 · 13 December 2011, 15:48

Bought a nice and cheap motherboard for a Core i5 2500 setup (it's also Ivy Bridge and PCI-E 3.0 compatible according to Biostar

).

A2000 - I feel some OCD cleaning coming on this weekend followed by some serious upgrades at the start of 2012

PowerPie5000 · 14 December 2011, 18:22

Managed to get an OEM Intel Core i5 2500 CPU for Just £110 + £6 shipping (brand new

).... These are usually around £160 at other online retailers! It's not the 'K' version, but i don't care as i don't bother with overclocking

There's one left here in case anyone else is interested: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2307159790...84.m1497.l2649 (it automatically accepted my offer of £110... Maybe someone can get it lower? Worth a try

).

Here's my latest toy grabbing a picture of itself. A prograb 24RT with pcmcia interface. Back when I first had an A600, the mysterious PCMCIA slot promised such magical devices. Since I don't ever recall even seeing one though, I can't resist buying them now. This seems like it might be just a parallel port convertor, I'm gonna see if I can get it to work with my other frame grabber and sampler.

Working Commodore 64-I with the light keyboard from "C", 1541-II, four joysticks, about 50 floppies, black datasette from older models adapted to C64 and about 20 cassettes. The price was equivalent of 16 Eur. I know it is a bit bastard set, but I will divide the whole lot to complete my other C64 setups.

I'd be really interested in seeing what sort of things you can achieve with this and what you do.... be great to see you open a thread to show some examples of what you get up to jimbob.

Actually looks like some fun to play around with...

It is a lot of fun, I would certainly have wet myself with excitement if I'd had this back in 1992. If I achieve anything worthy of it's own thread I'll be sure to share. Meanwhile here is a rather excellent portrait of my dad gazing in wonder at the awesome power of amiga -

'course the A600 can't display all these colours but it looks great in HAM and greyscale. 16 colour portraits also look pretty cool, the capture software has assorted dither and palette selection algorithms. Haven't tried animation yet. Ought to be quite fast with ACA630 and PCMCIA versus 68k and parallel.

Peter · 19 December 2011, 23:44

That's a really cool image! Your Dad looks like a Chess Grandmaster!

What are you grabbing this image from? A digital Camera?

I think I will start a thread when I get get some time to play with my Vidi device - perhaps I can get prowler to merge your two posts into it...

jimbob · 20 December 2011, 02:14

hehe, I'll tell him you said that, he just complained about not really being that wrinkly

Yes, my digi camera has a PAL AV output. This is the actual live image captured by the amiga though, ie, not captured from a still on the camera.

It's a bit silly really, digitised by the camera, back to analogue for PAL output and then digitised again, then again he wouldn't have been their but to check out the new gadget. So even though the camera on it's own is superior in every way, I'm still just as impressed by this as I would be if Andy Warhol himself turned up and painted Debbie Harrys face blue
