JuneBUG is Complete! Amiga 600 in Black !

[leirbag28]

Ahhh

Well, it isnt exactly complete yet.as I still need to ad a coat of mtte Finish Clear paint. And also actualyl connect the internal CDROM drive.but at least its finally got the CDROM slot internally and its painted.

Notice I spray painted the keys as well..then purchsed keyboard stickers for people who want to translate their keys to another language....in this case, they are ENGLISH/Korean.....only because thats all I could find.

:-)

I will post other pictures soon...plus My VJ gear using the CD32/SX32 Pro.


For PICTURES, just look at my PhotoAlbum here on A.org by clicking on my name...............make sure yuor signed in.

hahaha, Thanks.

Yes you can, if you have an RGB to VGA adaptor..........and put the A600 in Productivity/Multiscan mode.............I already tried it with the CD32/SX32 pro and it worked......although it looks like crap in 640x480 as this monitor is 1024 x 768 native.


the picture with the A600 on a wood table is actually a Performance rehearsal of a screen play here in New York that a friend of mine did for her upcoming Film.............I was the SoundFX guy..using the A600 of course :-D    I once and for all was inspired to finally paint this for the actuall performance which is on Friday, as News crews and magazines will be there...and I wanted the A600 to look her best :-D

although I will probably use my CD32/SX32 pro for the actual performance. I will use SCALA MM300, SuperGenSX and DV video moving backdrops hooked up to Two 5000 Lumens Projectors...........WooPee!

Nextel? .... the phone company?  not sure what you mean.  I just purchased regular Spray paint.....Ultra Flat Black...and painted it myself... then placed keyboard stickers on the keys..................and now I have to paint the whole thing, with Clear Paint with a matte finish.....I dont want it to have alot of shine just like the CDTV keyboard. It has a nice non reflective coating.but it does not look too dry either.

I will probably finish painting it on Saturday morning.

 I guess I will post pictures again once its Coated and ready.............Im coating in because I dont want any paint eventually pealing off...nor the keyboard letters to fall off.
 Also I should have a replacement CDROM or DVDRW by then........if not I will get it some other time.

Thanks for your comments guys!

Yeah! I hope the letters dont Shrievel...........also I am not painting this with a Gloss finish.......that does indeed look bad.....its going to have a Matte finish.  I once SPray painted a CD32 silver!  it looked cool as heck ecxept the Piant weas all messy and gloppy.....I really screwed it up.............the secret to this paint I used is that it dries very fast, so you can spray lightly and it sticks well.....but I want to paint a protective shell on this.........it may change the look, for the better or for the worse. Because I painted part of that Silver CD32 with Matte clearcoat ad it suddenly changed into grey (weird)

@Tenacious

yeah the Sony LCD works well....but its not that clear since it is Composite

@Tenacious

Um, You can read the text sometimes...and sometimes you can't........especially in Hires Interlaced............I use Hires 640 x 200 as its more readbale and is Workbench's Native resolution anyway........most apps run in that resolution on native 7mhz Amigas...I also rely on the fact that even if I cant really read the Text..........I know where the items are placed on the ToolsDaemon Menu (Super Duper Huper Flooper Highly recommended!).  Using Tools Daemon or just using the "Leave Out" selection on the menu for programs I use most on the Road (incase you dont know..."Leave Out" is like shortcut icons on Windows)

 Personally I cannot comprehend why every single Amiga on the Earth does not have Tools Daemon (Amiga's REAL Start Menu)

Also....You can use Larger Fonts for everything (Although Tools Daemon will get cluttered if you have tons of Applications on the Menu as I do).

Oh, and by the way..........there is indeed better LCD screens out there......if you can get one of those Rare RF modulators for Amiga with S-Video OUT and find and LCD screen that has S-Video IN, you might be in luck. Although on LCD screens, S-Video doesnt seem to make an ounce of difference as it still looks like composite to me. LCD's are still not better than CRT's.

By the way.........I got all 5 Sony LCD's on sale for about $62.00 each! :-)  thats why I purchased 5 :-D  Im sure you c an get them on ebay......buy them with the PSONE even.........then sell off the PSONE alone and get some of you cash back.....then the cost of the LCD might even be less than $60 :-)
