Going Tower!
« on: August 12, 2007, 11:53:13 AM »
Hi,

I have 2 A1200s (Blizzard 030's 32MB, 4GB CF Card, Mini-CD rom) but I would like to convert one into a tower.

I have just purchased Evillord68's BlizzardPPC DCE Card with 68060 and 603e 210 MHZ, Rev2. and 128MB Ram, so I am good on the accelerator front!

Here is my dilemma:

I live in South Africa, so there is no conceivable way of getting a custom tower here without excessive expense. I do visit the UK quite often, so I can get a mediator delivered to a friends house and pick it up when I am next over there, but what do I do on the casing front?

Also, apart from the mediator, what else do I need (I already have a PCKey adapter) ?

Your collective experience in this would be greatly appreciated as I've only been in the Amiga world for 2 months now  :-D

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. The problem is how the hell to lug a tower case back to SA!  :-? Normally I just pack everything tightly into my luggage, but I don't think a tower is going to fit.

Are there any options to customise a PC case for this purpose? I have looked on google, but not really found much.

Not really an issue since the case seems no bigger than a standard PC MIDI tower case so it's easy to carry as a second piece of luggage :)


Hmm I suppose as long as the weight limit is observed I could have this as a second piece of hold luggage...

I will have to investigate. This total Amiga fetish is starting to cost me a LOT of money  :-D
