What would be the best way to turn my pc into a amiga. i have an amiga 1200 but i love winuae and i also have alot of pc parts whats would be the best way to set one up. IE

1. what OS to use
2. Harddrive

Things like this any help would be great as i have a few pc nocking around my room, was just wondering if i can do anything with them.

Hum,
i used to run a nice set-up on an old P2 PC, win98 and 10 Gb HD, voodoo3 & 400Mb ram.

XP would be better for plugging in amiga HDs and online security etc...(as well as larger HDs, faster graphic cards, more memory to support XP etc...)

I have Amiga Forever 2005 running on Windows XP Pro. I installed Amikit on the machine too. Hard drives don't really matter because pretty much whatever you have running in XP will be available on Amiga Forever.

I suppose you could remove the Windows startup screen and have Amikit or Amiga Forever run from startup. Amikit makes a nice Amiga interface, but some of its windows are not maximized, like when you start up a game...

Since it's a live CD, download it and try it yourself.  .48 version is about five months out of date, but it's pretty decent.  Or you can try a nightly build which is most current you can get but it's not that polished.

i recently built up an amithlon-dedicated pc, consisting of:

-Pent!um 3 / 500MHz
-192MB RAM
-4GB Seagate ATA
-x12x10x32 TEAC CD-RW
-MATROX G400 DualHead (as amithlon supports acceleration with this one)
-SoundBlaster PCI 128 (direct AHI support)
-RTL8139 LAN (direct pci support)

it runs great!!!
