So.. those of you that have your v2... how are you hooking up/routing the HDMI cable with the case on?

In a perfect world, someone would make a 3d printed bracket to hold a HDMI port and 2 usb ports (driven by a rapidroad or something) and have it fit where the RF modulator is.

Kipper2K has something useful:

and I'm sure I've seen in some photos of his setup that he built a converter from HDMI male (which plugs into the Vampire) to pin header.

Think it's reasonable to assume that pretty much everyone will realize that the RF modulator is of little use. However... not everyone will want to alter the original case, I guess...
Personally, I'll remove the RF modulator and likely mount some kind of 3d printed bracket with HDMI connector.

Rf-modulator hole is big enough to fit vga without changing a case. So it should fit hdmi easily.

Maybe I chose my words poorly. I know it fits. I mentioned a 3d printed backplate to hold a connector. So room for plastic around the connector
What I meant was that there are ppl (purists / collectors etc) who don't wanna alter the original look of their Amigas by permanently removing a part from the motherboard which can also be seen from the outside.

Yep, exactly. I'm fairly sure you could fit HDMI + two vertically placed USB ports in the space. I've never done anything 3d printing related, but this might just motivate me to... once I finally get my board, that is.

Is it easy to remove the rf modulator? I'm not as handy with a soldering iron as I'd like to be.

Actually, if you haven't seen it yet, Modern Vintage Gamer did a new Vampire video and mentioned this cable:

Are we supposed to be notified when we have to upload the kickstart? I don't understand what the dates mean in the post at all?

 

[CraigsBar]

You can upload a kick start whenever you like. Again a link to the detail is in the first post.

 

[MoreBITS]

I have uploaded my kickstart now.

Yep first post doesn't include full list ie valid roms has more people than on the preorder list, my rom still not even been validated yet.

I guess time get mine maybe gold firmware or platinum firmware with fpu.
