Today I'm proud to showcase the achievement of that long term project, my very own amiga shrine!

It was in 90's that I discovered the demo scene. So I was always attracted to know more about the amiga. With many time an research I brought together a desk that allow me to enjoy the amiga. I built the speakers to fit the reponse and be precise in that array. That is no HI-FI, it has a very defined mid, no ultra-low sub-wooof and no ultra-crisps highs. It's all in that closed enclosure that this 8" mid and dome tweet drivers make a designed for the paula chip speaker, I colored them accordingly. The screen is a 1080p 32" lcd, I'm still wondering if I should got a 720p, but those chinese cheap brand arent very specific about exact resolution of 720p so I decided to go for 1080p. Still pondering if I have the less stretch blur, or a 720p would be more close to what amiga's indivision aga mk2 framebuffer can offer. Also 2x8gb cf cards on thin 40pins ide dual port cable, I've tweaked 3.1 so much toward 3.9 I dont know what version to call it anymore.

Beautiful!
Back then I was running a 500 with an amp and self-built speakers... albeit less sophisticated then yours.
I really enjoyed the NewYork warriors' theme blasting in attract mode.

Sweet... That is a nice basic setup. Are you planning on getting a real scandoubler, accelerator card, pcmcia stuff of some sort? I see a ribbon cable, there in the back, I kind of think it is. Is that an external drive or something?

Personally I am in the process of upgrading my own Amiga (A600) and have ordered a 15khz flat-screen plus vga adaptor.

Cool...

In the day, I had my A1200 set up with a Panasonic Midi System, I was more into dance remixes than sceney scene stuff at the time. Still got the A1200, also grabbed a 500 and some bits and pieces that I have never fully played with. Playing at Amigas feels more like a long term goal at the moment I don't know why... would lub to do setup with both Amigas hooked up to AROS "server".

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

Keropi: thanks alot to you and al, your kind reply is much appreciated. I honestly believe my gear is average.

amadeus777999: What is that NewYork Warrior Attract mode ? This game music seem bad, have you played it so much you now think it is good? Also what is attract mode ? is it Player select music?

brostenen: I already have aga mk2, I'm working on having a good pixel setup. The accelerator is a 68030@25 with 8mb uncompatible with pcmcia address memory. So I did a switch to cut it 4mb/8mb on the fly before boot. So now I can do wired/wifi networking, with 4mb your only guess is ftp.

About the wire, that was acute observation. Well my shrine is not 100% over, I have two 8gb cf cards on the bus I need to find a solution to cramp them into the amiga case. Now it's been around a month or two before I needed to pick a cf card and run it into an emulator to fix a problem. It's about time to close that clamshell case.

This way, you only need to figure out a solution on what to do with the last adaptor.... 😉

must be me playing to much, but this hdr photo I posted in op, with heavy saturation and intense contrast remind me of cell shading and my game of borderland 2. Maybe I could put some handsome Jack's loop to play.
