Towerizing an amiga 2000 motherboard?

[trilobyte]

Anyone else put an amiga 2000 mb in a tower?

I'd apreciate anyone's thoughts or advice before I decide to do this.
 

I towerized my A2000 back in '98 with a real Mikronik tower case.  It didn't last long in that case because the case's layout totally interfered with something I had intended to do.  I think it was not physically able to accommodate a Toaster, due to the way the front drive brackets were built up.

One nice thing about towerizing an A2000 is that you can use one power supply for the mobo/zorro, and another for all your drives.  Boy would that be noisy.

I kept that Mikronik tower around for a while but it was freaking HUGE and I ended up tossing it during a move.  I had probably lost some parts to it by then anyway.

I don't think anyone has mentioned it, but there is also something called a "tick" signal that the A200 mobo needs.  I ran into this when I tried to do the same thing and hit the wall when I couldn't use the PeeSee tower power supply...

This site:  http://amigamaniac.com/atx_to_amiga.html  says you can flip a jumper on the mobo to source the tick elsewhere...
