It is a 1200 workstation the computer slides half inside for the monitor to stand on and joystick socket and mouse socket are on the outer side for easy access.

The amiga 4000 is badged as a 030 but is really a 040

Also there is a flicker fixer / scan doubler fitted but I am using the Philips at the moment until I add my 4.3 LCD or maybe a 17 inch CRT or run both at the same time lol I can not make my mind up at the moment.

I must agree the Philips is pin sharp for a CRT I also have a 1024 commodore monitor and it beats that hands down.

Running frontier on the 040 is heaven for me.

Anyone tried the cables from retro gaming cables? Looking to get an RGB scart for my megadrive II.

Nobody seemed to reply to this, not sure if it is too late either, but I bought a cable from there before and couldnt fault it. Excellent service!

Yeah mate ,cheers.I went ahead and ordered one anyway.Quick turn around and couldnt fault the I.Q even on my LCD.Certainly seems as though they are properly shielded.Would recommend to anybody in need of a decent cable.

Bulking up my COD, MOH, MGS, Zelda, and RE collections, ironic thing is, I gave my PS2 to my nephew so haven't got anything to play majority of them on, lol;
