Make sure you get 2 A1200s :-)

I say this because after owning a tower for a while you will likely crave a second machine, in it's original guise.


(I'm chasing you around today, Karlos...)

If I had the interest, I'd scrape up a 1200 desktop unit and with the exception of adding a far, far beefier power supply really trick it out all inside it's case.

1st: Aforementioned PSU
2nd: interior RF sheild?  Gone!
3rd: add an accellerator of some kind.  '040 or '060.  Plus requisite RAM.  Maybe even track down a BPPC with Bvision to stuff inside.
4th: Buffered IDE interface + low-profile 3.5 HD where the internal floppy used to sit
5th: internal slimline CD-ROM trick as featured on some websites
6th: FANS FANS FANS!  Gonna be warm in there!
7th: Subway USB interface on the clockport - that would solve any issues regarding connecting it to a network (via adapter) and external storage.
8th: External floppy drive
9th: upgrade to 3.9

...

Heh.  But for that price I could buy four PCs and have one dedicated to Amithlon, another to WinUAE, a third to AROS and the fourth for general PC use!   :-o  :lol:
