I have 2 of these old macs



there is not much height so no mediator pci i was going to put a pc celeron board in it with onbord sound and graphics then i was thinking of an a1200  then i thought of giving up and now im thinking of restarting again with the pc board these old macs were 60mhz ppc with 160 mb scusi hard drives only 8 to 16 meg of memory but they cost just 5 pound for the 2 from a car boot sale. :-)

You could use an a2000 keyboard it has the right connector for pc/ keyboard adaptors cdtv has a mini din plug and needs an adaptor. :-)

Ok found some things that would help me on mini-itx.com like slimline dvd rom i might as well put the pc motherboard in the mac case.

I have been thinking all day and i want to put a pc motherboard in the mac case i have i was thinking of maybe putting an a1200 in it.i will put an  a1200 with slimline cd rom in an a500 case . :-)

Didn't you say you had 2 of those Mac cases? You could stick the PC in one and the A1200 in the other.

I have 2 but one is abit yellow and i broke the middle piece of plastic trying to cut it for cdrom door anyway the top of the case is now my printer stand with the paper underneath. a1200 into a500 case should be fairly easy. :-)
