Acube could have done much worse on that package :-)

Looking forward to see your installation review!

i like your tower mod. i want one of those power towers but i wouldn't have the guts to mod it. what is the quality of the power tower? i have an eyetech mk5 but it could have been better put together and i can't have a mediator in it as it was for amiga pc siamese style...

If you look closely the tower has the Amiga name taken (cut out of) an Amiga 1200 case! This hacking makes some people unhappy!

>>what is the quality of the power tower?

I found it to be very good, everything fits nicely, the motherboard sits on a proper designed tray. :-)

I really want a minimig now! But the sweet spot is just under £100 including shipping (if not available in a local shop).

Wow, the Minimig is beautiful!  Is there some sort of gallery somewhere with more pics of them?  I'd love to see what kind of cases people are putting them in...  ;-)

@Loriano,

Good review and pictures.  I also looked at your tower work and congratulate you for imparting your sense of style to it.  I have the same tower with an A4000D mobo inside with a CSPPC.  After seeing what you have done, I think I may do my own modding some time in the future.

Looking forward to your second review.

Cool, as soon as I am done with formatting the SD-Card in FAT16 and sorted out the Kickstart and a few ADFs I'll post more pictures and comments.

Thanks :-)

I have taken more pics of the Minimig in detail, and to be honest, you can only take a few pics of the front, back and sides. :lol:

I am already working on a case for the Minimig and this will also appear on my site as soon as possible.

Thanks  :-)
