Well it's a (Xenium) Chipped Xbox in an aftermarket Crystal clear case. It has Cold Cathode green lighting and a 500gb Hard drive with a few hundred games installed.. Oh and ArnoldX of course. I was tempted at one point to make a SCART -> CPC Monitor adaptor so I could also use that on the CM14, but then changed my mind ;) I still might one day but not yet. I have 5 other spare chipped xboxes up on the shelf. Halo 2 LAN Party anyone?


Or if you mean the other one, then it's a empty 3 drawer cassette storage thing with all the drawers removed and used to provide a convenient storage spot for the Symbiface and cabling.

Craig, i asked about the Xbox :)

The  3 drawer cassette storage looks also nice, i have also something in mind, tp hide all the CPC extension ( you know something like the bodegabay for Amiga 500 )

That's neither 8 bit nor an archimedes... it's a 32-bit A3010! Last archimedes was the 540 I think...

Was just compairing the design of the 6128PLUS casing to those late Archimedes ones... quite some similarities in design...

Of course I know there is few in common between a lame 32bit risk architecture and the humble awesomness of a Z80 +ASIC badassness of the PLUS...  ;D

Anyway, aren't those A3010 considered "Archimedes" the way thse PLUS are considered CPCs ? Not officially branded as such but still nicknamed affectuously as such...
