Commodore 128 tower project continued!

I take it you got that "Commodore" Case Badge for that tower, how about you slap a couple of these on your machine (one on each side)?

C= Sticker

Or this?

I will also be installing a X86 SBC

I've been thinking to install one of those in my A2500. I don't know exactly yet what I'm going to use it for, but it'll be "just because I can". Maybe I'll make an internal monitor/mouse/keyboard switcher in combination with a Lyra or something, so I can use all standard Amiga hardware and still run x86 Linux..

I may add a large IDE hard drive (200GB?)

Wow, that way you can have 6 copies of all C64/C128 software that's ever been made on a single harddisk! :lol:

The 9VAC relay board is fixed!! A more heavy duty PC relay is now used.



Here's a pic of the composite to VGA converter getting mounted.

Yup, if you find one like this it would go right into an ISA slot. No communication internally to the Amiga, but you can connect via serial null modem. Maybe install a stripped down Linux, which you could access via terminal.

I can have a complete library of Commodore software at my fingers, correct. I can also have a SID collection, MOD collection, graphic library (Koala, JPG, MacPaint, Ipaint etc) and anything else I can think of  :-D Geos software can get pretty beefy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I never claimed to be an electronics guru :-P You can certainly hear the computer turn off and on now. Clunk! Clunk!

:lol: Well, at least its better than my XP tower - Whenever I use the motherboard USB sockets, and come to turn it off, windows shuts down, there's a click, and the machine stays on! Avoid the mobo USB, and it turns off fine every time (Including during crashes :crazy: )
