The short and sweet answer is yes, a pc supply will run your 2000. With the right diagrams you can splice the amiga connector on to a pc supply. Some newer pc supplies do neat things, like not turning on unless they sence certain signals from the mother board. You will need a simpler or older pc supply that just comes on no matter what. Or one that only comes on when it senses a current of any kind. In the past I have used pc supplies to run an A500 and an A2000. Remember those "Big Foot" power supplies from long ago. Just PC supplies with greater wattage and an amiga connector strapped on. Seek out some diagrams on the connectors and pin outs of the amiga and your pc supply. If you can't find them, I know I still have info around here some where. As for monitor, almost any magnavox monitor with liner RGB/TTL RGB inputs in the back will work. You will have to find a cable that connects the monitor to the amiga. Some one should still have them for sale some where, SoftwareHut shut.com maybe. You can use the RCA but it will look bad. You could also spend a few $$$ and get a used flicker fixer and attach it to a vga monitor. This site had alot of old info that might be helpful... http://www.amigau.com/ and send questions if you like through the pmail button. I'll help if I can. I've built and repaired many commodores in my time.
