I dont like the angle at which that dude placed that internal laptop drive into his 1200 desktop. its not consistent with the angle of the case.....it looks kinda bad......he should have angled the part of the CDROM furthest back near the ports of the 1200 more parrallel to the angle of the keyboard and the case, and also cut the case in the same angle. Maybe he would have to place something underneath the CDROM to hold it up, but it would have looked better...................he could have also used a laptop harddrive instead of a desktop one and ket all three internally!.............I hope to try this with an A600 one day.
as for another solution to connecting a CDROM to a 1200 without towering it is this................get IDEfix with the little hardware and just connect a regular internal PC CDrom just hanging out of the back of the 1200 with a cable long enough.
