Ok, I understand the words "This is my first posting", but the rest?


He is asking if anyone wants his old unused Amiga PPC card for free, which he is about to bin if no one is willing to take it.

OK, I was joking. No clue what he is saying, but I think I've recently bought a CV643D card off him, if that's the same Povl from Denmark.

Get a Mirage 4000 Pro and be done with it. You get a bundle deal for a tower case + mediator + standard beefy PSU + lots of space + no heat problems. End of story.

OK, I'll post some pictures of the case and the insides this weekend.

The case is not the prettiest design in the world, but there is plenty of space in it and it sure beats the standard A4000D if you plan to expand your system heavily.

It fits, but remember:

A4000D is tight with space = bad airflow
A4000D has a custom power supply rated at only around 135W or so.

Is it gonna be powerful enough for Mediator + Voodoo + NIC card +
SB128?

Mirage 4000 is just a bit more expensive and you get A LOT more for
it.


Think about it. Expensive and rare Amiga hardware exposed to more heat
and weaker power supply.
