Hi all, I post pics of my nearly complete A1200 project.
It is housed in an old PC case which I think looks a bit like the A4000T. The case features a door with the classic A4000T smoked window.
This is my first customised A1200T build and it drew blood on many occasions!

The system specs are listed in my sig (3rd system).

,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Bigger versions of the pics are on my flickr page. http://www.flickr.com/photos/26149788@N02/

This is an amazing set up here - pat yourself on the back - this must have given you a few very late nights - looks great!

I find it's best to just ignore those types of questions...

Lovely system you have there DDNI.

I especially like your choice of case & the way you've put it together - retro & classy. So many A1200 towers are horrid monstrosities regardless of the underlying specs...
...my hat's off to you old chap.

Yes it is annoying to HAVE to sell it. But sell I must.
