yeah, I like my HDD placement, I very nearly swapped it out for a CF solution as it only *JUST* fits over the Indivision AGA!

Your CF solution looks lovely! very neat, I like that! I can see the LED though even its not flashing

Very nice idea

Which screen do you use with the Indivision?

Thanks Photon, I am really eager to get her finished when i'm home again in January. By the whole setup, do you mean hardware inside all in the case?

All the extra photos I have up to now are stored at my Picasa albums listed in above posts if you can access picasa? just click the links

I got the indivision to work at 1024 x 768 with an app off aminet, but in the photos its running at a lower resolution (I forget exactly which one I was changing it often to see how it worked and took pictures at various resolutions I think) But I wlll be using the 1024 x 768 mostly when finished.

.

I don't have still an Indivision, but I have the internal Cd and the subway with the sheilding on. Do you know or believe it can be installed with the sheilding?
(well, I know the new Indivisions will be smaller, but can't wait so much)

I never actually tried with the sheilding on and I wouldn't recommend it as it gets quite warm. But I *Think* its supposed to work ok with the sheilding on but a small modification is needed to the sheild itself from what I remember.

No, I meant how the Amiga+Monitor+mouse etc looks on your desk

Picasa was full of detail-pictures. But I understand, not quite finished yet? So take some nice shots when it's all done, I'm sure it will be great

Ahh, ok yeah its not there yet

I plan to get a better monitor for a start. when she's all done i'll give a nice full setup pic

After seeing this page http://www.commodoreusa.net/Home.html I'm not quite sure if putting an slot cd. It seems all the ideas are on the contrary, a tray system cd...

What do you think of that designs?

Next i'd like to try testing the Ethernet adapter and Delfina... I go away next Wednesday for a while so I hope I can squeeze them tests in beforehand!

Spectacular

MickGyver · 10 November 2010, 19:49

Spectacular and so practical, love it!

lambrettadave · 17 November 2010, 21:04

hi phipscude just been looking at your creation and that looks awesome with boat loads of extras that would normally been advertised for towered A1200's only

Great work

cosmicfrog · 17 November 2010, 22:28

finaly get to say

& ribbits too

rkauer · 19 November 2010, 05:12

Awesome work, Les!

That's the ultimate desktop A1200 I see to this day.

Wanna donate it to me?

Fabie · 19 November 2010, 06:18

this is the best A1200 I have seen
tons of works there
congratulations mr Phipscube

haymigga · 19 November 2010, 07:23

Awesome work§

I like the style approach that you have, unlike many other modifications I have seen, your machine preserves that original Amiga 1200 standard look. A bit like my own, but I do not even closely match all the modifications you have §

Going to see if I can get Amigakit to help me getting a PICO PSU installed instead of the old power plug. They have helped me before with a subway, lyra 2, indivision custom a1200 build. Quite awesome.

Cheers,
Haymigga

Amazing project. Just a tiny bit jealous

Eny- · 20 November 2010, 06:21

It's a beauty.

Congrats!

phipscube · 22 November 2010, 23:53

Cripes! Not been here for a few weeks so sorry I've not replied!

*shudder* I don't like that website! That design is really great but it was designed by someone else. I think either a slot or a tray is cool in an A1200. I initially wanted to try the tray but found most if not all modern tray drives are black and I wanted something matching the white of the 1200, even then "white" ones tend to be a bit off coloured. I'm picky

then I just thought what the hell, i'll go nuts

Cheers Cosmic! Great weekend at Blackpool mate, I am still thinking about how awesome it was to meet all you guys there from Amibay

I will get this beast finished up and hopefully by the time the next gathering is upon us I can travel over with her by my side

Thanks Haymigga!

I'm glad you noticed the original look, that's what I want too. Well apart from the small case sticker

I put that on to give a small hint on the beastly interior

I would have liked to have fit in a Pico PSU, but alas, no space. I did small tests with one too but found it was getting pretty hot too which adds to the already warm interior. Now I will put a modified mATX PSU inside an original A1200 (light) PSU shell at some point... and this, again, ties in with the original look

rkauer · 23 November 2010, 02:55

What case sticker????????????

Hi Phipscube and thanks for your answers. I'm thinking to install a Delphina as you (still I have to receive it). I was thinking to put their outputs in the Rf place, but you're going to substitute the Amiga ones?
There's no problem with that? I want to see that
