I've looking for schematics, components, cables... to connect a SVGA monitor to the A500 but it seems that this is not an easy problem. I have a Sony Trinitron sx-100. Does anybody knows of a solution?

If you own a normal a500, to connect it to a svga monitor you would need an external scandoubler. AFAIK there are no schematics available for building one. If your Amiga is a 500+, then you can use a simpler interface: a vga adaptor, but it only works with system/workbench screens (productivity at 640x400), not with pal ones that games use. For the adaptor, see VGA_Hack on Aminet, under directory hard/hack.

In the other hand, would it be (at least theoretically) possible to "migrate" the internals of the A500 to a bigger box, connect an externad keyboard, a SCSI HD, etc etc???

Soldering capabilities assured

It' definitively possible, other people have done this in the past. But you will need a lot of time for this.
