I like my RF shields intact if possible. I have a heavily souped up A1200 and a shield is out of the question there however.
Just want to add that not all A600's come with upper RF shields to begin with, at least not all the ones I've come across in the UK.
People say they're not very effective anyway, but like someone else mentioned, with all the radiation zapping around in peoples homes these days it might protect the Amiga more than it protects FROM the Amiga. And also less radiation has to be a bonus as we're being zapped from all angles these days.
