>>Sent you an email, not sure on cost. Always hard to guess or come up with a price, you would have a better idea than us of parts + time.
Thanks. That is the problem, when I started all those years back it was only to give my towerised A1200 a new case then the SAMs boards came out with standard boards sizes (mini-itx, flex-atx) so I started again as more people wished for something similar for their SAMs, then I got a few emails from the AROS guys so I had to go and test a few x86 boards and make changes this is when the change of moving the drives from the right all the way to the left happened, then I was asked for an expansion slot so back I went again, each time a prototype (roughly £800), bought loads of parts, screws, nuts, bolts, types of plastic, metal (finally settled on aluminium), switches, LEDs, sold ALL of my Amiga collection to finance it, everything, I have got just some floppies and an A500 manual left.
My A1200s, A500s, A600s, SAM440 and 440flex, C64s and 128s, macs the list is enormous...so to cut it short I just want to get some money back to buy myself some of that stuff back, donate to Amiga projects and websites and invest it in another idea I have got...
>>My plan would be to somehow fit my A500 in it, wishful thinking. Have seen a couple of hacks to get a USB keyboard working with the A500 so might be possible.
To be honest I haven't tried an A500 board but the case is slightly shorter less wide than the A500 case, it would be interesting to know. The rear I/O aperture is standard size (like the ones you see on pc cases).
>>Anyway, maybe once you hear back from everyone that's emailed you, you could take an average price and go with that?
That is the idea...
