« on: January 24, 2003, 09:20:52 PM »
Elbox announces availability of a new tower system for Amiga 1200 computers. Mirage 1200 is a modern functional and spacious tower case.  It is designed targeted for these Amiga 1200 users who have upgraded  or want to upgrade their computers with the Mediator PCI 1200 SX  busboards. Mirage 1200 allows also using other busboards like  Mediator PCI 1200, Zorro IV, Zorrro IV with Mediator PCI ZIV and Zorro II.

Power Tower and A1200 Winner Tower), the award-winning Amiga tower system.
With the new design, we are offering you even more Amiga expandability,
right at your fingertips.

Production of SharkPPC+ cards will start as soon as AmigaOS4 for A1 is released.
Look at thisor this one

I might buy an old A1200 and upgrade it with Mediator PCI 1200 or Mediator PCI 1200 SX
But I would not use that case!!!
Sorry, but I don't like that one!!!

Yep... I have the last one...  It's sitting in my front room hooked to the TV.  I figure it'll be a collector's item, as everyone else in the world has put theirs in towers...   :-D

I own a bog-standard A1200HD model:
 ° 2Mb CHIP
 ° MC68020
 ° 40Mb IDE HDD

It sits behind me infront of my C128D.
(Both are hooked to the same 1084)

I have a desktop too. It's really cool for Classic stuff, and to hook it up to a big screen TV using an RGB cable. The image quality is really good, has no comparison to the Composite output.

I just love the part where they really seem to believe that OS4 will run on the SharkPPC - obviously occulting the fact that OS4 support was only announced (actually suggested) by Hyperion for Classic machines equipped with a *Mediator* busboard...

It's the AmigaOne version they want to run and not the APUS version!

It looks like my PC tower, and i'm not very happy with it either.

i rather go for a seethrough tower, with lots of lights

and of course a boing ball on the side  :-D  :-D

Indeed!
My 1,2k is happily untowered.
It has an EC303@40, 32 meg fast, and a whoopin' 80 ( ! ) MB hard drive... :-P
