Hi,

I've taken up the idea to put my A1200 into a desktop case for neatness and don't want it in a tower.

It will fit but the apollo accelerator card is about 2cm too wide and I need to cut a bit of my steel case to get it to fit perfectly.

How can I cut the steel? I've tried using a HSS blade and an electric saw but it wont go through it lol.

Anybody know any companies in the UK that do a steel cutting service (cheaply) or any tools I can use to cut it?

I can fit the A1200 in the case no problems but with the accelerator card it just doesn't fir  :pissed:

Thanks,

Nick

Thanks guys I'll be going to town first thing on Monday to go to Maplins (UK electronics shop) and buy something that I can use to cut the case.

I also need to buy a new soldering iron because I can't seem to find my old one  :-(
