Description: What is on the desk; An Olivetti VGA monitor displaying a C64 screen generated by the C128Dcr below. The C128DCR is connected via a video to VGA converter box. This box allows a passthrough of the VGA. The A1200 uses that. Since it has an internal scandoubler it can use the same monitor. Apart from the final cartridge III the C128Dcr is bone stock. It uses a PET datasette to load software. I can't seem to find my disk based software. The A1200 is equipped with an internal scandoubler, an Apollo 1260, 32MB of RAM and a 4GB harddisk. It uses a dynalink L10C for NIC or a squirrel for interfacing with the CDROM. The kickstart is 3.1 and OS 3.9 is installed. In the back is a yellowed A1200 in use as a webserver. It is not connected to a monitor at all. Telnet, AExplorer and FTP are used to service her. Other then that it is just a http webserver. She is on 24.7 until i see the electricity bill :rtfm:. Under the hood is a 4MB ram expansion and a 4GB harddisk. She uses a dynalink L10c as NIC. KICK and OS 3.1 is installed and AmiTCP provides the TCP stack. Well that is that. Hope you enjoy the picture. P.S: I just spotted the photoframe is not were it is supposed to be. Can you spot it? :crazy: Picture Stats: Views: 2603 Filesize: 62.35kB Height: 768 Width: 1024 Posted by: Doppie1200 at September 29, 2006, 09:31:26 PM Image Linking Codes

| October 02, 2006, 11:31:18 AM The 128 is very clean. It has some traces of use ofcourse. Scratches from monitors that stayed on top mainly. Also the rubber legs are replaced since the old once are long gone. It has no yellowing as far as I can tell. The keyboard is yellowed sadly. Some keys more than others. I calculated the powerconsumption to be around 20 euro's per year. So you are right, I shouldn't worry. |

That does show up on my bill  BTW: Very nice collection; and the 128 looks mighty clean! |
| cv643d Posts:1197 | October 01, 2006, 12:35:20 AM Don't worry about the power bill. I suspect your A1200 consumes about 25-30 watt (or less?). My A500 with a 030/4MB consumes about 30-33 watt iddle in Workbench, but then I have no harddrive. A 2.5 harddrive adds about 3 watt, a 3.5 harddrive about 5 to 20 watt. 30 watt is not much at all! For example a Netgear wireless router with a 4 port switch I have consumes 25 watt in iddle. A hi-end SLI rig with the latest graphics cards consumes more than 350 watt when gamed with, and iddles probably around 130 watt. Rumours state the latest Geforce card is going to consume 300 watt alone! crazy... Power consumption is very interesting. I bought a small gadget that shows how much watt something in the home draws. Another nice example, my Xbox (classic) consumes 10 watt when turned off in stand by! that is as much as a lamp in my kitchen. |
