Infinitiv towers works with mediator , u dont need to cut anything.

but the tower is small , and as far as i can tell , this tower you are about to buy is a METAL case with some bits and pieces which is plastic , unlike the other model which are fully 100% PLASTIC , please check the tower before u buy , if its a plastic one...STAY AWAY!  if its the metal one...buy ...but u might regret it.

if i was to buy a new tower now (which i might)
then i would buy an elbox tower/mirage , due to the sharkppc/mediator combo , it basically wont fit in any of the towers i have now.

anyway SAY NO TO PLASTIC .
Say MAYBE to Metal

Say YEAH if it meets your needs, but i would recommend you to buy something that will last...namely an elbox tower.


cheers

sorry i forgot to mention ,

infinitiv towers have a case incluced where you put your a1200 keyboard inside , so yes you can use your orginal keyboard.


anyway its crap :) , the cable will give u nightmares in the long run.

i have an elbox keyboard adapter , it supports cdtv,a2000,a3000,a4000 and cd32 keyboards + pc keyboards...




pps:i aint a elbox hype , just that i am very confident in the stuff they made (mostly all)

cheers

well ermm i had a blizzard 060 with scsi controller and i had it inside my infintiv tower,
i had the plastic model,  what i did was... i added some more levels to my tower (u could build it to infinty :) , iirc i built 4 more levels on the tower..., (ie more drive bays etc)

the blizz 060 is one of the slim'st cards u can find so i dont see where you found this info , but if it will fit with mediator + 060 + scsi , thats another thing, i never tried that...

my old tower is now in denmark and probably thrown away ;) 2+ years ago i sacked the inifitiv... and i dont miss it....pLASTIc CraP
