Title: Battlestations!
Post by: Oldsmobile_Mike on August 01, 2015, 12:37:42 AM
@blakespot's post (http://www.amiga.org/forums/showpost.php?p=793403&postcount=11) of his desk setup reminded me of a thread I'd seen in another forum, called "battlestations", where people would post pics of their workstation setups.

Don't recall seeing one on a.org before, so here goes a couple of mine:  A2000 at the office (see if you can spot it), and A500 at home.  These are a little old and I've posted them before, should take better/new pics.  But let's see yours!  :)

Oh, and a bonus picture: my A1200 from 2003.  I think I took this pic on my Palm Zire 71 (640x480 resolution!), hence the *ahem* "quality".  ;)

That one must be the pile of parts in his sig.

Hope to have have something like that Man-cave in the future but it will be in the back with a home theater up front ;-)

Stuck in the corner right now ;-(

No room for me, hope this year I''ll repair my basement.

Here is my A1200T, PPC, Mediator full pc cards :-/

There is also a new deck between the open doors now but not included in this photo.

I love battlestations threads! And am honored to apparently have unwittingly inspired this one. :-)

Folks should check out reddit's /r/RetroBattlestations (http://reddit.com/r/retrobattlestations), as well. I have lots of fun there. @FozzTexx is the mod.

So you saw my office setup in D.C. linked in the first post. (Amiga's not actually there yet - dropping the SAM off today!) I thought I'd get my other Amiga battlestation setups in here, as well.

@ Mike

Your A500 setup at home looks great!  No Clutter, no cables, it looks like an Apple showroom designer swept thru your place! (Regardless of how you feel about Apple the company, they do know how to dispalay and market hardware!)  Everything is crisp and part of your life, like new, not 25 years old.  Good job!

Wow all pics look great, I will need to upload a pic of all mine too, a bit of a mess as I am re-organizing my area.  Soon I will upload them though!!!

Finally added a dedicated shelf for my main A2000 underneath my existing "battlestation".  So now when I'm not using it, it's not in the way.  :)

I've got way too many projects, and not enough time.  :(

Some of youz guyz have some seriously nice setups!

My Amiga's share space with several other consoles, systems and arcade stuff, but I have a few "stations" that are always set up and ready to go. Didn't bother to take pics of my 800+ boxed Amiga titles this time though.  :)

Have one of those slim-client Amiga D-UAE thingy's (works best when I need to install ClassicWB on a real Amiga) that doesn't see a whole lot of use honestly.

A CD32 next to my A2000 equipped with a SupraTurbo 28.

Phoenix equipped Amiga 1000 w/ ACA500/ACA1221 hanging off her. Works a treat and LOVE this system!

And lastly, some original boxed A1000 goodies hanging out atop the closet.   :)

Nice!  I love all the original boxes.  Still have the box from my very first C64 at home, don't think I could ever part with it.  :D

The Byte Cellar… love that shot!

Wouldn't mind having everything in one central place, but the basement is a wee bit small and so have things scattered about a few different rooms:

I spy at least four Odyssey 2's wedged in your shelving!  :lol:

Big fan of the system or think you need so many backups? One of the more reliable systems actually

Hey Mikey! :)

Both boards are in Antarctica! Anthony has the 1B mobo all repaired (yes kids - caps go bad and corrode traces underneath!! - this was the board that wouldn't init the Indi AGA MKII correctly) but the Amiga Technologies 2B board is being a real bugger (the one in my sig)! All the subsystems on the board work but when trying to boot... nada! :hammer: He told me that he and some other geniuses are working on the ultimate A1200 guru ROM - NICE! :) So, it may be a while till I get them both back - only wanna send one box back as that sh!t is expensive to ship! :lol:
