hello,

I've bought a few months ago a commodore pc tower and an amiga1200. I was waiting for the new sam to install it to the commodore tower but the price is quite high and I have second thoughts about it. ( 1000euros + for a complete setup ).

On the other hand I am thinking of boosting up my amiga 1200 ( less than 500 for a good acceleration card, hard drive + sd card for adfs + cd rom + candoubler/flicker fixer ) and install it to the commodore pc tower.

So my question is what do I need to install the amiga 1200 to the comodore pc tower? While googling I found out about specific towers for amiga 1200 but I do not want to use such a tower.


C= gaming PC case?

Yeah they are nice in an imposing kind of way. I was going to get one and make it white and stick the original AmigaONE motherboard in there years ago.

As long as you can get the keyboard adaptor and the PSU adaptor it's no bid deal to tower it really if the case is large enough. And then you can use an A3000/4000 keyboard too.

If you wanted to do it DIY I have the pinouts for old ATX PSUs to Amiga power connector if anyone really wants them.
