A500 Tower

[that_punk_guy]

The coolest thing about having an A500 is surely the nostalgia factor. Where's that when it's not even in its original case?   :-P

Of course, that's YOUR PERSONAL OPINION ;-)

Hey, I have one for nostalgia. Didn't stop me putting a harddrive on it so I could at least play SOME games without having to wait half an hour on a slow floppy...

Of course, my other reason for having it is building odd devices for it, of which the IDE interface was just #1 on the priority list. Now I have an almost-working A1200 lying around which I can use for hacking, as I've got a brand new motherboard for the Elboxed 1200 :-)

Earlier today I was looking for a way to turn a PSX into a CD ROM for the Amiga an came across this massive list of hacks on Aminet, not that I usually do that sort of thing. Didn't seem to have the one I was looking for but I was a mightily impressed with the list of hacks I found. Everything from putting an A1200 into a tower to turning your Amiga into a self-gratification machine.  ;-)  :-P

Your probably on it, am I right? :-D

I bought this new 1200 from a guy in canada. I collect amiga to keep in original shape (except the battery). In the proccess I have been experimenting with emulation. Considering how fast todays PC is, this is not difficult compared to finding spare parts for Amiga. Nevertheless, I have become more interested in towering though I would much rather get myself a A4000 or 4000T. Prices are a hinderence.

As far as a 500T, I have A500 that works and another that doesn't. When I get a new mobo, I will probably tower the one with the "yellowest" case. But it can still be a pricy situation.

On a side note, I have another URL from that guy. He found a nice 20" monitor that will do 15KHz.
