I am thinking of taking an old A2000 case and installing a mini ATX board.  The intention will be to install AROS or Amiga Forever on the modern hardware.

Has anyone had any experience in what will need to be modified to make this a reality?  

Any links to others who have done the same?

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

You could fit a full size atx mobo easy, and with minimal modification.  youd maybe have to add new holes for standoffs that are in the orientation of ATX standards.

which involves a tiny drill bit, and about 5 minutes of your time.

you may also need to bore out some of the case for the I/O stuff

but I doubt it would be daunting work.   ATX PSU's will fit no problem.

should work out nice really.
I am a negative, rude, prick.
