Welcome to A.org :-D

Not that I've got any experience in modding Amigas like that, though I'd have thought that getting a cheap A600 from EBay might perhaps be a better choice of machine - the A600 has a smaller mobo, and an integrated hard drive controller (which AFAIK the A500+ lacks).

As for 'it can't be taken apart' - wanna bet? :-D (if it was put together in pieces, it'll come apart in pieces - unless there's something you know that I don't or you meant the mobo itself)

I guess he meant the mobo itself - the A600 (and the A1200) use SMD devices which are a real pain to get off unless you've got tons of experience, the right equipment, and a very steady hand.  BTW you certainly won't be able to transfer the internal IDE from an A600 to an A500.  The A600 itself is a right bugger to expand much (even the CPU is surface-mounted - you upgrage by placing a socket upside-down over it :-D ) but it certainly is possible.
