Back on the Amiga scene

Shark PPC is not released yet due to AmigaOS 4 being only in prerelease state.  It is therefore widely considered to be vaporware.  Another accelerator known as ACK (which is also not released yet) is stated to come out with the prerelease of AmigaOS 4 when (and if) it comes out.

To make a long story short:  If you want to plug a PowerPC accelerator into your A1200 you're either going to have to buy a used Blizzard PPC or wait a while for one of the above listed accelerator cards to be released.

Those cases at Mr. Hardware are PC cases.  The new AmigaOne models XE and SE fit into PC cases unmodified.  To fit an A1200 into a PC case requires the case to be modified.

Mr. Hardware is a decent Amiga distributer here in the U.S. but so is Software Hut even if they are a bit pricey.  Since Amigas aren't made in the U.S. anymore we are at the mercy of the exchange rate of the dollar.
