Amiga A1200 Tower Conversion - Part 1 Project Overview 

Tower is the power :D

Looking forward to the next episode. Ta.

I did this to an A1200 in 1997 at uni, borrowed the uni's drills so I could drill through the back of the case, those things were made of really tough steel and there was no replaceable rear panel like we have now. Also, the mapping of the PC keyboard to AmigaOS wasn't great but it kind of worked. If I were doing it now, I'd be offsetting the motherboard away from the case and using cables to go from the rear of the board to a custom I/O fascia, that way, you also hide the power connector port on the board from the outside world, the PSU would just connect internally. I would find a way to mount it to that tray that comes out of the case.

I know it's yours to do with what you want, but to be frank: This strikes me like taking the engine out of a 1983 Delorean and putting it in a generic 2020 Toyota Corolla. Swapping the Amiga's case would have been something I could get behind in 1993... but now they are collectors items from my youth. At this late date, you can run a full A1200 (or better) in emulation on *any* basic tower PC for less money than you would have gotten from auctioning the complete and working A1200. I don't at all understand the motivation and hope you at least sold the remaining Amiga bits to people that can use them for restorations.
