Nice mods but I'm not sure I like the colour!

That is just horrible!  I wonder if it's the same dude that had the stupid white one for way too much money, maybe he decided to paint it!  Brilliant!

ROFL! I think its one of those things that you can mod to your own tastes, but will find it hard to find anyone who shares in your idea of customisation! Like the modified car scene!

Interesting concept.... perhaps not everyones 'cup of tea', but I definitely wouldn't call it 'Stupid' :roll:

At least the guy is creative and had vision.

PS. Not mine - who has time for a project like that :lol:

Other than the color choices being unconventional and probably only to be appreciated by the modder and maybe one other person in the world, I like the execution and effort that went into all the work.

The idea of having the LCD connected and folding down to the keyboard like a laptop makes for a nice "luggable" A1200 to take with you to a friends house and play some two player games over serial connection.  I like the general idea and his work looks pretty clean (if you can see past the colors).  I would do this with my 68060 A1200 w/USB ports using an old laptop LCD that still works, but I have enough unfinished projects to work on before I start any new ones.

I would think that this is what he does as a hobby, Mod a A1200 and sell it for as much as he can get on E-bay.

This is probably the most practical A1200 laptop mod that I have seen. No need for a custom shell, just screw an LCD panel onto the existing A1200 case and do a bit of rewiring.

That is the biggest laptop power supply that I've ever seen though...

He is better off using a FPGA based amiga : 4 NiMH batteries, a 7" LCD screen and a small keyboard with intergated mousepad then you have a small laptop with 5 hours of battery life.
