If you go to my blog, You will find pictures of my A1200. I had the Idivision Installed at AmigaKit when I bought the A1200. They had an interesting set up. No top RF shielding, And the hard drive mounted right to the side of the case. They had hot glued a small plastic "shield" to the top of the indivision Just encase the HD touched it, and routed the VGA plug out the expansion port. All and All a very neat and professional job. I have to order one of those "flexible" IDE Cables for my 600's

I ordered my OTHER indivison (4000) from RED. It took less than a week to get up here to Canada.More pictures on the blog.
Being up here in western Canada, I am ordering from Both Red, and AmigaKit is about the same. I go by the rule "If Red doesn't have it, then AmigaKit does" and vice virca.

One thing I found on the 4000 - it runs hot ( I am not sure if its the LISA or the Indivision itself), I glued a small fan on top and now it runs happily very cool. There is a thread on that on Amibay somewhere on a "Hack" for the Indivision, but this works well- you just loose the bottom slot.
I would stongly suggest installing the HighGFX drivers so you can run it at 1280x768. It makes a heck of a difference.

HOT!?!  not good. Loose bottom slot!?!  ...as in the bottom slot is going to fall off or become sloppy? ;) The indivision card and fan unit together take that much space? QUOTE]

No, the fan I used JUST blocks the bottom slot. I am sure a thinner fan can be used. I had the Video toaster card in, but since removed it.
