I can present my home-made tower conversion of A1200.

It took me more than 3 monts to assemble this unique configuration. It is assembled only from used PC parts so it costed me nothing! That was a matter of principle..... I will rather invest that money in new Amiga hardware like SAM460.
 
Only hardware that I bought is Amiga hardware from Amiga dealers to finish this project!

Many interesting solutions for A1200 like sideways PCMCIA, half size PSU, USB connectors, original A1200 LEDs.
 
Amiga, Amiga and only Amiga :lol:

Beautiful!! But I still prefer it original desktop case, personally. So in the end I will spend whatever it takes, expand it to the maximum capacity that I can expand it in a desktop case...and enjoy it this way. No other way for me

Yes - I also like classic A1200 case. more than tower. Its more "Amiga" way than towers. Original A1200 case is very attractive - design is beyond its time and even today a very attractive case.

But the reason I done this midi-tower solution is to have proper PSU, cooling and space for hard drives and DVD.

The combination of BlizzardPPC + BVision is very hot and I had problems in stability of the whole system. Before I was using PPC only occasionaly, but when I started AmigaOS 4.1 that is working 100% on PPC  it turned out that system is overheated and unstable.

Now I have temperature of about 33 celsius in midi tower (outside the tower temperature is 25 celsius). When I remove that big fan that is located in the front of BlizzardPPC/Vision the temperature is also very hot!

I dont know if other people have the same problem in original A1200 case?
