Is the A1200 really that cool of a computer???

I don't currently own any wedge Amiga's (all big box), but the one thing I miss about 'em is the fact that they are s-i-l-e-n-t. I don't think anyone's mentioned that yet. The A1200/A600/A500 are as quiet as can be. Even with HD's installed in 'em. The A1000 is pretty silent quiet though. There's got to be quieter fans out there that could be swapped out with the other big box Amiga's though...

I looked inside my A1200 and noticed that it has a "DKB Clock" connected to it.  Does this do anyting else beside keeping time on the system?

Nope - that's all it does. Curious little clockport doo-dad, huh? Most all accelerators came with their own. Nice to have though if you're good with just the 020 and some Fast RAM.

@Samurai... oh yes, I always run NoClick on my systems and before I discovered that in the early 90's, I used to just throw a floppy in the drives to shut them up. The external 3rd party drives though were always quiet enough though.
