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.

Interesting mod, pretty neat. I don't think I would pick those colors, but the mod itself is pretty unique.
Someone has to state the obvious and that someone is me!

True, but right now there is no FPGA based AGA Amiga. The Natami would be a good candidate for this, if it were available right now. I think that it's a neat project, even though I'm mainly interested in hardware for Amiga OS 4.x.

It would look OK if it were all black

Although the colors are not to my taste , you really have to appreciate the work that went into modding this A1200 .

Personally i admire the owner for having the guts to do a mod like that ... and even more to be brave enough to paint it that colors :-)

Very clean job though .

Shame its so over priced .

It was on eBay a couple of weeks ago as well, but without the *ahem* paint job. I really liked the way it looked before, but now it just hurts my eyes. Shame.  :-(

I guess it's better than "over-sunshined yellow" ! :)

Very nice unit, but it's a real pity he's negated all that hard work with that horrendous colour scheme.

I agree that plain black would've looked the dog's...

Cheers,

Mike.
