I prefer BuZz's.

Pure Black + CDTV keyboard + BlizzardPPC + BVision + CF adapter + Custom cooling.

He doesn't have an Indivision though or an IDEFix Express...

Nice internal Kit indeed!

I have to admit though I like the black / chrome finish, although I would done some prep work to the top of the chassis, because theres pooling near the numeric keypad and around the raised power / hdd and fdd words (next to LED)

other than that its pretty smart, however I noticed theres no shot of its screwed together

Its a fast and furious A1200 Not to my taste, although no denying the build quality... nice internal kit too... bet it's noisy with all those daft fans.

Nice, clean, sexy.

It's a shame that looking from the bottom it looks like the fat lady Al Bundy keeps talking about
Damn, those "legs" are freaking HUGE!

Its a damn shame, considering the effort that has obviously gone into this build, that he's used a molex connector on the side to power the Miggy/ the CDRom.
A Nice internal PICO PSU Mod squeezed in somewhere would have been the shiny icing on the cake.
Other than that, a very nice neat mod, lovely fat cankles!

I wonder how did it paint it that way? It doesn't look spray-painted at all (no silver paint has this clean, professional effect). It looks like it was "chromed" with some kind of chemical procedure, similar to the one used for some plastic (or even metal) models.

Was kind of wondering the same thing...
...Project 'Pimp my A1200' has been left for months in an unfinished state for the lack of a good gold finish to go with the pink snake-skin keyboard surround - I kid you not!

The more I see this the more I find it horrible.
I missed the stands under the Amiga to lift it, the wobbly feel of the silver coating and the fact that the machine doesn't even shut its case tight.

It's horrendous. I've seen so much better here, certainly Buzz's machine looks much better.
