One question.  Is it possible to use a half length Zorro II card in a slot that is in line with a half length PCI card?  (assuming they would fit?).

BTW, I already have a SB128, anyone care to donate a Mediator?   :-D
Time to move on.  Bye Amiga.org.  :(

Maybe 3.  I have a day (or so) to decide what I want to do and still get the free shipping deal.  Here's what I'm pondering, maybe someone can push me in the correct direction.

Current System:
A4000 2M CHIP/16M FAST RAM
CyberStorm Mk2 060/66MHz w/128M FAST RAM
A4091 w/2 x 4G SCSI HD

HW (I already own):
Voodoo 5500 PCI
SB128

HW (I'd plan on getting):
Internal SD/FF
PCI NIC

Option#1
Mediator 4000di

Pros:
Cool Original Case
Cheaper upfront cost

Cons:
Lack of expansion (both PCI and drive bays)
Extra cooling needed (custom)
Extra power needed (I think)

Option #2
Mirage 4000 Pro (with Mediator)

Pros:
More expansion room (both PCI and drive bays)
Comes with power supply

Cons:
Cost (about $150 USD more)
Case is a bit ugly  :-D

Please, someone convince me one way or the other.  Currently I use my A1200/060 much more than the A4000.  But, if I got a mediator and a nice video card + sd/ff that would probably change things quite a bit.

Thanks!

Ok, that's one vote for the Mirage (from a Mirage owner that's a good thing).  Do you happen to have pics of the case?
