yep
 it is an ibm case from a netvista p3, using a lyra keyboard adaptor cut the back of the case to match the a1200 ports and the side of the case for the pcmcia slot (for broadband) using a standard pc keyboard and a video in adaptor with a vga adaptor to use the dell pc monitor just flicking the switch to go from the wb screen to the game screens. idefix for the cd drive, i think it fits the case pretty well and has left loads of room to stick things in it at a later date (the 030 50mhz and 32mb will have to do for now)using the pc power supply (the a1200 psu couldnt handle it)next on the list is a pc mouse adaptor so i can use the mouse wheel to scroll.

@JuvUK
Thanks for the info. One day I'll try it myself.
Can you tell me the dimension of the case? (HxLxW)?
Thanks

Hi
I'm  now using my trusty old a1200 in a case to post this! ;o).
its just a standard desktop case i have a few of them here so if anyone wants one, you pay the postage or collect it and you can have it.
all the best Juv.U.K.
P.S
   any one know of any good software/tips for saving chipram? i just dont seem to be able to keep enough of it free.
