Re: a case for a 2000 tower project

Back in the days (1995 or so) I had my A2000 converted into a bog-standard AT-bigtower, by doing half the Bomac-trick. I simply cut of of the backside of another A2000-case i had lying around and screwd it where the sun should never shine  :-D

Converting the AT-PSU was also rather easy (by using the cable from a dead A2000-PSU) and only required some soldering and changing the tick-jumper.

AFAIR the case had 5 5.25 and 2 3.5 drive-bays, and I blocked one of each with accel-card.

So my advice, stay away from ATX, rather go dumpster diving for anything AT big enough.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else
