OK, this is probably a dumb idea. But after our discussion about hacking a pico-itx motherboard into a 500 case the other day, I was thinking about another hack: An ATX motherboard and power supply into a 2000 case.
(If you're arriving late, the idea is to run XP on the wintel motherboard and put WinUAE on it)
I know this is sort of a bad idea because the 2000 case kind of sucks. But I thought it would be cool to still have it in an amiga case. The good thing about this is that it would cost me nothing as I have the parts lying around. I also have a machine that I uses as my retro-gaming-facilitation-windows-machine. It has two floppy drives and a catweasel in it in addition to a number of emulators like mame for example. But it's in an ugly PC case.
I thought it would be cool to put the catweasel in this machine also. So I'd have a catweasel, some floppy drives, and a scsi controller in the case. I have a separate scsi tower for some other doo-dads, like the dvd-rom drive that won't fit in the 2000 case if there's a 5.25" floppy in there...
Maybe I should just use a PC case. :-/
