I put my Amiga 500 into a really nice vintage PC tower case.  It has 2 Teac disk drives, 1 Seagate hard drive, 1 Pioneer CD-Rom drive, a 68030 accelerator with 128 megs of memory, and a flicker-fixer board.  I am using a spare Amiga 2000 keyboard with it.  Everything looks and works great.  The Amiga 500 has a higher quality motherboard then the Amiga 3000, but the 3000 has Zorro III slots and can readily accept a video card.  My advice: keep the Amiga 500 and put it into a nice PC tower case.  Do NOT buy the Amiga 3000 computer.  People are always having problems with the Amiga 3000.  The Amiga 500 uses the same chips as the Amiga 2000 computer.  Did you know that the Amiga 500 was the most successful, most popular, and the best selling Amiga?!  More Amiga 500s were sold then any other Amiga model, including the Amiga 2000 in the USA and the Amiga 1200 in Europe.  So, if you have one "in the box" KEEP IT!     :-D

He did a real crappy job too!  My Amiga 500 Tower looks a lot nicer.  I will upload pictures and an article of it as soon as it is finished.   :-D
