Does Computing Get Any Better Than This?
« on: November 16, 2008, 12:03:27 AM »
OK, I treated myself to a new HiDef 46" plasma for Xmas, but the question of what to do with my old 42" plasma arose.  Despite the complains from my wife, I solved the problem and dragged it off to my computer room.  It now takes pride of place on my retro-wall as the ultimate gaming monitor for my A4000, Minimig and C64:

Pics are a bit big so I've linked to them.

I'm glad you're having fun with that GVP 030 card.  It certainly gives the A1200 a good kick up the butt.  :-)

I just replaced the 25MHz Commodore 040 card in my A4000 with a Warp Engine 40MHz 040.  I'm going to take the 25MHz card and stick it in the A3000 I'm planning on eBaying.  That should make it a bit more attractive.

Yep Gotta watch it, playing old games can become a time sink...freakin cool though. This is the setup that should have been released back in the day. The whole CF card sawp back and forth to a pc with UAE is stellar.

Will now continue on my black A1200 project.

LOL.  That MMC replay is worth double the price.  I'm waiting for that SVGA version because I'm using a composite cale at the moment.  :-)

I'm just amazed that your computer desk was big enough for a 42" Plasma screen and you didnt need to buy a new desk.

I think my saving grace is that I have the mother-in-law visiting and what my wife has spent clothes shopping in the last month would probably by 3 plasma TVs!  :-D

So I guess that A500, 600, 1000, 2000, CDTV, CD32, are pure garbage then? Thanks for posting here.
