Once more about the desktop-A1200-in-the-tower issue!

[dxrdx]

Hello everybody!

I just bought a A1200+BPPC+BVision from a friend of mine,
but most unfortunately the machine isn't a tower model.

Now I'm asking YOU dear Amigist, who has put your baby
in the tower, how did you do it, and which PC case
did you use in your project!

Why am I asking this ? Because there must be 8298570957
different PC cases out there, I'd like to have a little
pointers which PC cases are most suitable
for this purpouse.

Most of all,I'd like to know which case brands/models are
known to work best with A1200!

(And as a student, I don't want to end up putting up a
PC store which sales different kinds of slightly drilled
and hacksawed cases for people )

ADDED: A Bonus Question: What is the best keyboard adapter
for the Amiga, custom hacks included ?

I've heard that some adapters are pretty lousy,
especially when typing fast.

The answer is simple: price - and secondly, I'm a DIY-guy :-).

However, I checked out the Elbox pages out of curiosity,
and they do not seem to be selling any more those
A1200-boxes .

Hi LinchpiN !

Yeah, it isn't easy, I know, but I think it's worth
the reward.

About the pictures: Sure ! Let's put up a gallery - let the best box win :-) !

By the way; who's the manufacturer of your case ?

I'd like to know which of those countless PC cases are most suitable for a tower work.

And how about the ATX power, did you just hotwire it and
start it from the main switch or do you have something more elegant for the power button ?

Hi Brian !

Thanks for the advice, I'll have to deal with the BPPC+BVision somehow! A friend of mine has a Bliz 1260 which doesn't take two sided simms, but he managed to get the two sides simms to work by using a plenty of tape around the card , so those rubberbands aren't out of the question either !

The same question goes to you, who's the manufacturer of your case ?

Hi swift240!

Thanks for the tip, and what comes to the pleasure things, I'll be pleasing myself with much more natural ways. Thank you.
