Cheers people. I have always had a soft spot for the Amiga...Especially when it comes to music....The PPC really comes in handy for graphics work as well.  I Dunno what it is About the Amiga....Hell it was years ahead if itself.

As I mentioned earlier going from a stock A1200 to my current setup was a little daunting. The main tower case for my miggy is in need to some cosmetic work at the moment as the tower was in a real poor state, there were some other pressing issues with it...Being good at electronic repair, I had to clean the Amiga Mobo real careful as the Previous owner of the miggy nearly ruined it.

After 2 days non-stop work, I had cleaned and restored the Mobo, Re-soldered the IDE header, re-seated the ROM's and carefully inspected the Blizzard PPC. This was the most painstaking task as the PPC was covered (literally) covered in dust, the fan had seen better days and was replaced. The PPC clip-on cooler needed adjusting for better contact with the PPC, After £350 Later, all was well and I am well Chuffed. :lol:
