A1200 PPC re-build =D

fitzsteve · 11 January 2013, 18:00

Howdy Folks!

Thought I'd share some hardware pr0n with my Ami-buddies

I got my A1200 Motherboard back from Mike a few days back repaired and re-capped. What better way to test it out than whack a whole bunch of exotic hardware on it

No story to this one, just enjoy the pics

Thanks for looking

Hmmm, A1200's are 20 years old now. They are not teenagers anymore and in some countries still underaged, but damn they're sexier than ever without clothes!

Nice... And without keyboard you've got more ventilation...

Glad you guys enjoyed the thread

They Keyboard is fitted now but I wanted to be sure there were no issues before fitting it

What's the green stuff on the PCB on the power supply section? Maybe just from a green marker pen?

I think it's PCB protector where the caps where changed it looks like a track was repaired, maybe there was a little leakage from the old caps...

Sounds reasonable. I recapped three of my Amigas and they all needed some repairs before the new caps could be fitted. If it's not done properly, there's not much reason doing it in the first place.

Thought I'd share some more pics with ya'll - I got a new Monitor today, well I say new it was very cheap in Cash Converters so I snapped it up.

It's only VGA but gives a really nice picture with my BVison/CGX4, I'm also going to see how it handles the Indi AGA MkII on my CD32.

*Workbench at 1366x768 16bit (below) & 24bit (above)*

*Wipeout2097 640x480 15bit*

I don't normally got in those 'cash converter' type shops but I guess you can find a few gems amongst the PSP's and Mobile Phones

What size the monitor? 19"? Looks good.
I'm saving cent by cent to buy a 27" or 32" to substitute my 24"

It's an 18 inch, actually I like that it's quite small as 640x480 don't look too blocky. Warp3D Games run best in 640x480 so it's nice to be able to play them at a decent frame rate but also lookin' good

What I need to get is a projector =D
