Sam460ex case

[Iggy]

I'm using the SiI3114 4 ports from Acube web store, it came with a low profile clip.

As for video cards I can't confirm if the HD6450 will work, better e-mail Acube about it, they usually reply quickly enough.   Until there is real 3D support and some games worth playing I don't care much about these cards.

Considering they are still pushing HD4650s, its questionable.
Hey, were do you even get a 4650 these days?

Acube store, they seems to have plenty

Delta; Okay, and there is no RAID on the SiI3114 controller? (if support for it even exists)

Any clue if the integrated graphic would be enough for running q1/q3? Probably not q3 i guess

Acube seems to no longer have any motherboard s for sale; won't that be a problem?

[looren]

danbeaver; I know, will have to wait until they have them in stock again. Just hope their manufacturing time is not to long.

@looren

the onboard SM502 video does not have 3D acceleration. like other PCI-only AOS4 machines, 3D graphics are only available with radeon R100 and R200 cards, as well as voodoo cards. the radeon HD cards are still 2D-only at this point. so if that's an issue for you, you might consider using a radeon 9250 in the SAM's PCI slot for now.

Any Micro ATX case will work. I myself have been searching for some time to find a case that looks nice for a AmigaOS 4.x machine, I found a flex-atx case on ebay I would love but they only ship within the states

So im still trying to find a micro-atx case I like.

Here is the Flex-ATX case I liked:


(ps I would gladly pay someone in the states to buy/ship it to me with payment in advance some day)

[looren]

eliyahu; hm, okay
I will give it some thought, perhaps I should wait with getting gfx card


som99; I saw that case a couple of times when I was searching Google for cases.
If I find it again I will drop you a line with the link.

Just thought I would update the thread a bit

Found this, very nice, slimmed case from Silverstone
I wrote to Silverstone and asked them directly if the Sam board would fit, and according to them it will. Only center screw will not line up with the board.

Not sure how only one expansion slot will affect me in the future, but will cross that bridge when i get there Perhaps it is possible to use something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/PCI-e-PCI-Express-to-SATA-Adapter-Converter-Card-Mini-/170656767275 internally as well as using a regular pcie/pci card.
Anyone have any thoughts on that?

I am using http://www.myus.com for stuff like that, try it, they are good and not expensive.. get a free account, and then you get a forwarding US address you provide to the US seller when ordering at stores that don't ship outside US.. hope that helps.
