Pondering if its worth putting my 1200 in a tower ?
How much work and fuss is it ?
Any significant gains ? I imagine the biggest deal is that its easier to cram stuff in there.
How much money am I looking at ?
Looks like everyone here beat me to the forum. What I get form dismembering my computer for upgrades. :-D Anyway, I towered my 1200, and the only thing I've regretted is the "Charm" factor. Theres some (minor) compatability probs too, but nothing that can't be fixed. If you have the $$$, an A4000 would have AGA as well as space for gfx cards and whatnot. I think you can even get USB on one. Me, I towered the 1200, was rather disenchanted with its "standard" look, and luckily found a guy on craigslist who needed to get rid of his old A1200. Saved that machine from the curb, and now run both. (Mostly the tower, the console is mostly used by my SuperFrog addicted 3yo daughter) I don't think I'd like to go without a console based Amiga, even with the tower. Personal preference though, really.
Towering is expensive, and can be a pain. I spent ~800-1000 US$ (Not including the odds and ends I already had), most of which was on the Mediator. Though I feel it was worth it, as long as I have my "spare" when I feel like using a keyboard with no windows keys, an extra "blank" key or 2 that I have yet to figure out why they're there (Useful for assignin hotkey combos to, though), and the "Wedge" all-in-one design thats so distinctive.
