a1200 into a commodre pc tower
« on: February 06, 2011, 12:54:12 AM »
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.

I have a minimig with 4mb and an arm controller for casual gaming and running demos.

I am thinking about putting amiga 1200 into a tower in order to run a good OS 3.9 setup.

Ps: even though my amiga1200 in in perfect condition the case is not at its best :(

Franko,

your tower looks interesting! Is this a combination of wood and metal!?

It is like standard mid pc case, so it should fit. I think that the tricky thing is to modify the backplate for all the amiga 1200 ports. I will probably buy the adapters from amimakig but it's good to know that someone has these.
