FPGA Arcade inside A590 Housing

[wizard66]

Hi Guy's
I have been busy to build my FPGA ARCADE inside a A590.
Try to get old and new hardware together.
I like to share some pictures from my build with you.

I use the old A590 Housing and retrObright it and repaint the bottom side.
Inside the FPGA arcade replay board and also the AXT PSU controller from mikeJ (thanks mike).
The PSU itself is also inside it's A mini ATX PSU.
Also fitted in is a 2.5 1TB HDD, (The hard drive is not working on the replay but will be when the daughtboard will be available).
You can see the hdd/USB cable sticking out the case now for access to the PC.
I also put inside a temp meter C/F just for fun.
The case fan is adjustable in speed and also the cpu fan later on for the Dboard/ 060.

still to do: I have to bundle the wires (looks like spaghetti)

The daugtherboard will fit inside this case.

New Case fan inside ;-)

Me Gusta!

My A600 is terminally dead. I wonder if it could be used to fit this machine. How cool would that be?

That would be uber cool.
Only trouble how to connect the Keyboard.

Nice mod, man. I just used a plain 17x17cm black plastic mini itx cabinet myself (yes -- I was lazy this time. Hehe).

I am also looking forward to getting the daughterboard. Then I will fully mod the casing and   minimize the box physically and mount it on the back of the monitor

It have take me a few hours, but the results are nice.
All stuff in a A590 Case :-)  It's all Commodore again, remembers me on my first encounter with the amiga 500 with A590 HD aside ;-)

That's a great case! I'd been wondering if the board would fit inside an 1010 external drive case. Maybe even use the existing floppy cable as a breakout cable for most of the connections. Would be even more awesome if a some point a daughter board with floppy connector could use the drive. It would be like some kind of mini A1000!

Anyway, that's my first post on here finally done despite lingering for about 12 years.

So your the silent type then ;-) LOL

1010 External I think it will fit (not sure, i don't have a 1010.)
But that are also nice cases.
And O Yeah, Welcome on Amiga.org VuData .... :-)

Great job Wiz!  I'm drooling over this board, for which I had an opportunity to snag one a while back from Mike, now I see what you are doing with your board and I'm regretting my decision.  I want one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:hammer:

Mike

@Firedaw,
But no drooling on this boards you get big short-circuit ;-)

@ MikeJ
If you get keyboards from the 600/1200 going on the replay don't forget the HDD_act. header IO on 0v/9 just like we talk about (it's a must for original cases) :-)
