I still have my CD32, working OK-ish, in my loft (unlike my beloved 1200HD, sold eight years ago unfortunately).

Can the CD32 innards be re-cased in one of those 1200 tower kits, to make a sort-of tower 1200?


In case nobody noticed, the CD32 is still a more than decent CD player, sound-wise. In fact, when I first got one to develop software for (the fabled "Kodak Photo CD" player application for the CD32, which unfortunately never went to market) I was stunned how good the audio playback sounded. That's what prompted me to ditch my trusty Sony DiscMan (then barely three years old) and look for a replacement. That was back in 1994, if I remember correctly.

Now, CDs being soooo 1990'ies today, this may sound very quaint today ;)  But some guys are positively crazy about the audiophile attributes of gaming consoles. For example, there is a certain PlayStation 1 type model for which Sony inadvertedly ended up using high quality audio components, and which is something of a collector's item.
