I've gone for the Commodore Wedge too. Towering the machine just makes it too fugly - agreed. i like the fact its small and neat.

everything in my sig is in the desktop A1200 case. the FastATA3 is an IDE adapter that lets me use laptop drives, and gives me normal IDE ports for optical drives etc. without cluttering up the left side internal space where my laptop DVD drive goes. just have to cut a hole in the case for the disc tray or slot.

The Subway USB has to be without doubt one of the most usefull additions i have ever got. hard drives, CD drives, flash thumb drives, mp3 players, wireless mice, PDAs, card readers, printers, etc. etc. the device support is brilliant! just once again, you have to cut holes for the four(!) USB ports.

i was caught between the idea of a soundcard or a USB card for the clockport. i wish i could use both, but i've found USB to be infinitly more usefull, as for games, they use the onboard sound anyway, so no big loss there.

i've got scsi on both my Bliz1230IV and BlizPPC, as the hole at the back under the floppy drive is used.
so another hole for the GFX card output is required :lol:

all in all, its a bit of a mission :-D

note on the FastATA3 - if the updated drivers don't stop my machine crashing, i'm going to buy a couple of ide2scsi adapters and put my ide drives on the scsi controller.  :pissed:

A500, A600, A1200x3, A2000, A3000, A4000 & a CD32.
and probably just like the rest of you, crates full of related "treasure" for the above XD
