Sheilding on/off

[Franko]

Two reasons to remove the sheilding are, 1) it's a pain in the Arm when trying to add something to a desktop Amiga and 2) being silver it actually reflects a lot of the heat back onto the chips...

Am I not convincing anybody?

Nope...

Why not just buy one of those lovely new Amigas from CommodoreUSA, already done in black and so no need to paint, plus no overheating problems as they only exists in CommodoreUSA's imagination... :roflmao:

BTW, the shielding is for RF interference you know, not a cooling device of any kind.

Hmm... wondered why I was picking up radio 1 on my internal hard disk drive...

@ Retrofan

Don't take this the wrong way... but your obsessed and totally nuts ...

I thought I was a bamstick and obsessive about my miggies, but WHY this crusade to fit a fan to a desktop A1200

I can't quite get my head round why your going to all this bother for something that doesn't need done in the first place... :confused:

WHY...

[Franko]

Just because I've been told the Indivision gets very hot and I've been keeping the sheilding on even with an internal cd and a subway. I've heard the flicker fixer can be put with the sheilding, and I won't like to take it out now, but don't want to fry the Scandoubler.

I see now... didn't realize you were going to fit the Indivision, the fan may help, but I'd still get rid of the shielding it only real purpose was because of the laws regarding radio interference, anyway best of luck with whatever you decide...
