Tips for Building a better 1200?
« on: March 08, 2005, 02:36:54 AM »
Hi -

I'm thinking about building-up my Amiga 1200 system
into a tower configuration.  It looks like the ElBox
tower kit is a good way to go, along with their Mediator SX upgrade.  What else will I need to make a machine strong enough to run the new OS 3.9 or better?  Any items to <> ?

Hi -

What do I want to do with my proposed Amiga Tower?
Basically surf the web, download and play
with audio files, maybe connect my digital
camera and edit some pictures.

I'd like to do it with an Amiga based system.  If
I get a processor with PowerPC I guess there is a dual
boot option for running Mac OS also?

WOW !  That is an <> system ! Certainly worth every penny / pence / unit of currency. I'll have to watch the auction and see how high it goes.  You are in the UK I see.  Should the unit ultimately end up going over seas you might consider removing the boards before shipment and wrapping them up separately.  I'm sure the system will fetch a good price.  What is the dollar-to-pound ratio these days anyway?  It is up to &771 right now.
