Nice job, but how does the power supply vent its heat trapped in that long black wooden box at the rear?

He should've used a more modern power supply a fraction of the size.  Also I would've used an Indivision, but maybe that's just me.  ;)  Other than that nice job!

Very nice, just missing the pico itx/atx and an indivision AGA, with these two items you could probably squeeze a bigger monitor in there.

Love the red speakers though :-)

Had to agree.  Whilst I can admire the work and dedication, is this one of the most pointless mods ever ?

I wouldn't say that.  My A1200 has been sitting in a protected case for half a decade, now...  I just never got around to wiring it so I could turn it on in there.  :D

Seriously, though, it is really nice work.

Please don't take offense at my post. I really meant it in the kindest way.
It is a damn neat piece of work. Years ago I use to carry my A1200 with its PSU in a canvas sack, then pull it out at the clients house/office/what ever and use their monitor. With the 3.1Gb hard drive it was self contained for any demo I needed it for. So, I get it.
There is just something about the case, at this point in time, that totally cracked me up.

Very nice build!  It reminds me of the C64 system built into a suitcase (marketed in Germany.  Oh, what was its name?  Ah, yes, the PDC Clipper.)

One of my A1200 systems is similar to Sebastien's system but without the suitcase and screen.  It's being carried in a cardboard box!  :)  Now if I can fit a screen in that box!  ;)
