What was up with the shape of that?. It looks like it would break off when you tried to get it out of the slot?

I've actually found the Delfina Lite to be one of the easiest cards to remove from a slot. There's no mechanical resistance holding it in place, so a pretty simple pull from the connector end of the board will get it loose. It's also small enough to be able to fit a hand underneath to lift from below.

First thing that came to my mind was:
beauty - CDTV
beast - A2000

[leirbag28]

Nicest Hardwares:

DSS8+  Digitizer
SuperGen SX Genlock
CD32 Full Motion Video Card (with Green Circuit)
SX32 Pro

Ugliest Hardware: Amigen Genlock (WHat a hideous looking thing) and some A500 and A1000 side attachments and that ugly looking Bodega Bay for the A500.Yuck! hahaha. (But funny enough, beautiful in an Amiga 500 kind of way...If I had one, I would love it and cherish it)

Nicest Amiga: A600 or CDTV
Ugliest Amiga: A2000 or A3000 (only becuase it looks like a PC/non Commodore-ish)

Beauty: Any Amiga model, 3000D would be #1
Ugly: X-Surf, the first time I saw that I thought what a strange HW hack type card... Works a charm though  :-)

Most ugly: Phase 5 CyberStorm060 MK1
Most beautiful: Phase 5 CyberStorm060 without SCSI module attached.

Bubblers (most beautiful):
Phase 5 - CyberVisionPPC
C= - Amiga 4000 Desktop

Amiga "Beauties" - A1000, CDTV, GVP A530, MicroVitec 17" multisync monitor (died prematurely), Toshiba TIMM multimedia multisync 20" monitor/TV.

Amiga "Beasts" - A2000, A500 Bodega Bay, Toaster Oven tower conversion, CD32 w/SX-1 attached.

There are many more, this is just a few that came to mind quickly.

Put a cf drive in and a nicad battery pack and hook an lcd monitor off the back with a wireless mouse and i would completely agree.

actually i think the a500 is better looking. the 1200 is like they said "hey people are calling these things wedge computers lets make the wedgiest wedge we can make"

so they did.

yes but a it is such a good looking wedge lol  :lol:  mmmmm amiga 1200 ...

I agree with that; the A500 definitely has much nicer styling than the A1200.

the beast is definitely A3000T and the beauty is the A2000  :-D
