Part 1: Building an Amiga 1200 tower, part 1: mounting motherboard and BlizzardPPC
So during my X-mas vacation I finally got some time to put in to my A1200T power Amiga build that I oh so optimistically wrote about back in September.
Thu 3 Jul 2008
Just two months ago I was given a free classic maxi tower, these kinds of cases are somewhat rare these days so I immediately said I would take it when offered.
Today I added a second maxi tower to my ever growing case collection. It is as the previous one ATX format and has six external 5.25″ slots.
So how relevant are these kinds of cases to the Amiga?
Well, back in 1997 the coolest thing you could do was to hack your trusty A1200 into the biggest tower you could find, head for a really tall building and scream -Amiga, back for the future.
Then when you arrived at home again adoring your gigantic Amiga tower packed of PC crushing power you added a huge Amiga sticker to your tower so that your friends would not mistake your server-size chassis for a run of the mill Quake-gaming computer (while you wished your A1200 030 25Mhz ran Quake faster than your buddy’s P166).
Wow, how times have changed…
