WTB: A case for an Amiga 3000T
« on: September 30, 2013, 04:02:18 PM »
I have a lonely Amiga 3000T motherboard and I am looking for an original case (like this) for it. Willing to pay for shipping from just about anywhere.

As an update to conclude this thread: after some two years of searching, I have now managed to buy an original case, and I am now building my A3000T. Thread can be closed.

Thanks for all your comments and encouragements.

What did you do for power supply? I have been looking for one for my 3000t  for about a year now.


The original one, which came with the case, is not working (power good- signal stays low).

I have built my own adapter to use a modern ATX PSU, I bought an ATX motherboard expansion cable, changed the pinout on the 3000T's end to match it and added a small board (parts needed to generate the -5V that's missing from modern PSUs).

It's not pretty and it seems to be a problem to get an ATX PSU that would provide even close the 30A on +5V rail that the original PSU does. So far my Corsair MX430 has worked fine (under load the +5V rail drops to about 4,93V).
