advice on putting Ami in a PC tower
« on: September 06, 2006, 08:28:07 AM »
A local computer surplus store has a few PC tower cases for practically nothing, and the thought of putting my A3000 in one was tempting. After looking on Aminet, the idea of putting my A1200 in one made me a little squemish. But, the idea of using PCI cards makes the old bugger seem pretty good. What should I consider if I happen to get something like that? Size, technical knowhow, time spent, etc.

Whoops, guess I should have been more specific.  I'm thinking of putting the A3000 in the tower. My 1200 is fine in its original case for now. From what I've read, it looks like a little too much work for the time I have. So, as a project, putting a 3000 in a tower would probably be better in helping me eliminate some of the clutter in my tiny room and open up some space on my desk. Strange as it may seem, I prefer my 3000 to the 1200. Thanks for the replies, though.

The usual, having the CDRom internally and an extra internal floppy with the CPU under the desk. Its a small desk, and the scanner and 3000 take up most of the surface. I don't have a camera, but you would probably be surprised at how much is crammed in such a small room.
