At last my little collection of original CD's is growing ;)

My Sony BVM-20E1U running through an Extron RGB 300 (not all that convinced that I really needed it, but it solved the syncing issue, while creating others) showing the Amiga startup screen:

The backside of the monitor with the NTSC card pulled out for display (as well as the comm card for linking it to other monitors)

I'll get a PAL card for it in the next week or so and then I can switch between the two modes at will. I also have a Mac G2 coming, which I will run through the Extron as well. After that I'll have to find a stout table for it so it can be relocated into the house, it's a bit on the hefty side...

Yamaha DX9
This was in at Music-Go-Round when I stopped in yesterday. I was expecting something kind of underwhelming, since Yamaha's other four-operator FM synths tend to be (except the TX81Z and its descendants,) but I was pretty amazed by how good the DX9 sounds. Where most of Yamaha's other 4-op FM synths are based on their single-chip sound sources, which are great in a Sega Genesis or arcade board but don't quite cut the mustard in a professional keyboard, the DX9 is basically the guts of a Mk.1 DX7 rearranged to fit the 4-op architecture, so it has The Sound of its more famous big brother, but in a simpler, more approachable package. Suffice to say, I fell in love and had to take it home with me when I went back for a second look today :)
I went to an event today at which there was a craft fair, and was delighted to find a few stalls that were selling fabric, mainly in fat-quarters (a fat-quarter is a quarter of a metre, or a quarter of a yard, of fabric, cut in a particular way - it's the most common way of getting quarter-metres of crafting fabric, as this particular cut is very convenient for cushions, patchwork, blankets, bags, and suchlike). Naturally, I couldn't resist, and I picked some up.

The piece in the upper-left is a beach-themed print. It reminded me a bit of some of the Beach Tribe's levels in Lemmings 2 (since quite a few of them have beach huts present), and I'd been looking for a fabric like that for a little while, so I went for that one on sight. :lol:
The upper-right piece is a cartoony/storybookish animals design. The general look of it (even down to the style of the animals' clothing) reminds me very much of the illustrations in The Complete Adventures of Blinky Bill, by Dorothy Wall, which I made a start on reading recently (I loved the 1990s animated version of Blinky Bill as a kid, so I was really happy to see that the book had become freely-available due to finally entering the public domain - I had actually hopped onto the Kindle store to buy it!). Also, I usually can't resist cute things like this, anyway, so naturally, I couldn't resist this fabric, either!
The piece at the bottom is a small cut (it's not a fat-quarter) of blue fleece with paw-prints printed on it. There isn't really a lot else that can be said about it. :lol:
Three new Coolink fans installed in A4000D, one into the PSU and two into the case top!
Thanks to bebek for the case top (original is stored away safe).

Also added a little bit of foam to dampen any vibrations from the hard drive, system now runs wiser quiet and cool, Cyberstorm 68060 is now stable @ 66 :thumbsup:
Might give the case a rubdown and spray at some point in the future... just couldn't wait to test everything out.
Nice, I want it back :).Quote:
