I'm in great pains because I do not know how to decide.
I basically want a desktop 1200 connected to a vga montor through a scandoubler. Tower solution is out of question because I don't want it to remind me to PC.
So I have two desktop amigas in mind (and of course I'm open for new solutions if sugested):
A1200 + 1260 Apollo (060@66Mhz) plugged to a vga monitor through a scandoubler
and
A1200 + PPC 200Mhz 040@25Mhz with BVision and AGA internal scandoubler both plugged to a vga cable switcher connected to one vga monitor.
I need an amiga running OS 3.9 (because of new icons), I want it to render workbench nicely and then I would just click on a nice game icon and play whdload games. This is what I'm planing to do with this amiga besides it being an ornament in my living room.
Now which amiga to choose? Here are my concerns:
1. Would be 1260 solution better because of no heating problems as in PPC solution? Is this right?
2. How much noise make three coolers in a small desktop a1200 in PPC solution?
3. How much 256 color AGA display is slow for OS 3.9 and all those nice whload game icons I want so badly? I think this could change my mind from 1260 and make me go for a PPC with bvision.
Thanks to all!
