I like this idea for my A1200, but will have to find a new location for my external SCSI connector from my Blizzard A1260, which currently is located in that space.  I have also seen some users cut a hole for the Compact Flash to exit the case near the PCMCIA slot, which is another option that might be better for my current A1200 situation, and leave my external SCSI where it is located.

Does the long IDE cable passing near other electrical components cause any data errors, or data transfer problems that slow it down?  The only reason I ask is that I have experience with the Efika 5200B for MorphOS and that system's IDE controller would not allow even the shortest IDE cable without causing problems with data transfers.  It was a terrible IDE controller I guess.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)
