My personal take on it is that it's kind of pointless to stick a 1200 in a tower.

I can see the benefits (more room, more expandability) but I think you lose the 'retro' feeling of the classic desktop case.

If you really want to go RTG, then just go for a boxer (my personal fav is a 3000).

If I was rich and famous, I'd probably have both an 060 based A3000 and an 030 based A1200 AGA machine.

I'd use the A3000 for RTG stuff and keep the A1200 for playing WHDLOAD games.

I'm leaning towards sticking to wedge case, pcmcia internet card, aca accellerator and inidivision...

Someone here donated motherboard, floppy, keyboard to the rebuild.

I need a wedge case, either from a1200 or a500. Also need floppy power cable, joystick port cable which goes from the motherboard to the back part of case.

I think I need led/wires to motherboard for this also.

I could really use a cf card set up with amiga os,whdload and the tosec games/demo collections.

if anyone has  these parts, please pm me.

Best regards,

Steven
