Description: Well, you've seen my Cyberstorm from the outside, now have a look at its insides...

(By the way can I claim a special prize for the first person to post an X-ray of Amiga-related hardware on the web?)  :-D

Is this the famous Cyberstorm ghost, that's been haunting the visitors of amiga.org?

Nah, that would be the lost souls of the dead PPC-boards at DCE :-D

Nah, I did it here in the UK, but I was careful to use MY tax contributions instead of yours  :-P

The most original AMiGA pic! Congratulations :-D (Just voted, gave it a 10!)

Is there any chance seeing a 3D-CAT scan reconstruction of some piece of amiga h/w?! Hehehe ;-)

@ Karlos:

No, my good man, X-raying it is not harmful. These items all get X-rayed when you send them in the mail or if they go through customs anyway. And I keep the X-ray beam limited to a very reasonable exposure:

44kVp and 3.2mAs

Which translates into 44 thousand volts potential difference, with 3.2 milli-Amps delivered over 1 second.

I once did a test to see if I could damage a floppy disk (the data on it) with X-radiation, and in that test I wrote a whole lot of files onto a 880k disk and then exposed that to a continuous X-ray beam rated at 90kVp for a period of 30 seconds. I can't remember what the mA was, but all I know is the exposure was significantly more than what they use to screen your stuff at the airport!!!
Result: disk was fine. You see this is electromagnetic radiation in the X-ray spectrum. It is ionizing, but controllable.
Now the stuff that came out of Chernobyl was gamma and particle radiation, and that stuff is uncontrolled "Radiationus Horriblus Ionizationus Electronicus Defunctus".  :-o
If I remember correctly it actually killed several of their remotely-piloted surveillance robots by causing massive ionization-induced short circuits.

Wow :-o

Did X-Raying the thing not harm it then?

That's the coolest thing I have ever seen.

Well ok, it's the coolest thing I have seen today.  :-)
