Two words:I agree! :-)

Hey, Jaruzel, nice work, professional finish. Well done. Just one criticism - the screws on the DIN connectors are too long :-D

As to your PSU fan problem, I built my 4000 into an old Dell tower and to make it quiet, I ran three 12 volt fans, but all running from 5 V. They are nice and quiet, and together make enough breeze to keep everything cool. Of course, I used a "normal" 250W ATX PSU. You might be able to use the same idea.

Well done.

Bah!  Who cares?  They're a dime a dozen on eBay.  Personally, I think it's a beautiful hack.  Makes me want to get an el-cheapo SGI Indigo2 (r4k/xz) and make an SGI Amiga copycat.  :-)

Nice job.

@iamaboringperson

Um, ok, so I did.

For my next trick I'll hack to bits a fully working Sun Ultra 80 that I also have lying around...

No one wants old Sun boxes anymore, and the hassle of offloading them makes any money made negligible .

-Jar.

Nice job Jaruzel,
10/10 for presentation
10/10 for inspiration
10/10 for persperation
 8/10 for style (38/40 not bad eh! )  :-D

Yeah - that's a well done conversion, Jaruzel.

If I ever acquire an A3000 Desktop, I have one of THESE to use for a conversion:





This case solves the space-shortage problem in the A3000.
Hmmm! EIGHT 5¼" Bays for SCSI Drives!

and I could just sit the case in the middle of the floor! If a visitor was to complain, . . . I'd say:"Well, you just have to get over it!"

Thats one mean looking beast. :-)

@amigamad

Isn't it? Unfortunately my unit isn't as clean as that dude's.
I've found that a lot of superseded IT gear is being discarded.
In the past few months, I've came across such things as DAT and
MO backup/data storage devices with horizontal (the DAT) or
vertical (the MO) internal transport systems to load and unload
their respective data cartridges.

Other than that HP NetServer, I've acquired an ATX Tower 24" high.

@ Jaruzel

The case rebuild is very nice, but PLEASE, pretty please, drop the javascript open links!

[Jaruzel]

Um, ok. what browser don't they work in then ?

Prolly means my anti spam email link doesn't work either.... *sigh*

-Jar.

No, they work like Javascript links are supposed to, just that I (and I reckon there's a lot of people that would agree with me here) like to control my own web browser windows, thank you very much :-)
