thinlega · 19 May 2002, 14:43

I was thinking about trying to make a rackmount a1200 has anyone else done this???

I doubt it, but the burning question in my mind is why?

jmmijo · 19 May 2002, 21:26

Well perhaps because he wants it in a 1U case

rlake · 19 May 2002, 21:34

Best I can find is 2U...

Shadowfire: teh answer to your question os very simple, and you just have to look at the link rlake provided. I'm thinking of doing this myself, because I do lots of multimedia setups, anda rack mounted A1200 is very, very handy. You can stuck it in a rack with syntesizers, too

thinlega · 20 May 2002, 19:55

hummmmm..that eyetech one looks nice.........but look at the price!!!
I want an a1200 in a rack because I would like to put it along side my synths......ant sort of treat it like a chip tune module

One thing that Eytech has done for you is all the leg work in the mounting of the mobo and the power supply conversion. I myself like to do these kinds of things but most others do not so it's basically just a mount and go type config.

I see why they use a U2 sized case as it gives you much more room to play with

I am working on my rackmout......It will be ready soon.....

It will be my first amiga with a HD

I am going to put the classic os3 zip from the downloads section....and have an internal midi interface and sampler....chip heaven....

jmmijo · 29 September 2002, 18:10

Good luck with the project, if you have a digital camera, perhaps a few screenies would be nice to share with everyone

ElectroBlaster · 29 September 2002, 18:13

Guys im making a webpage at the moment! I would like to host pictures of converted amiga's....

anyone want to be on it?

jmmijo · 29 September 2002, 18:22

I still don't have a digital camera, would have to do it the old fashioned way with film

ElectroBlaster · 29 September 2002, 18:42

Well if you could then that would be great! Im sick of all the PC modding websites showing off modded pc's!

I think its time for an amiga themed one!

Amiga1992 · 30 September 2002, 02:59

That's a good idea Electro :LD

If everyone asked this question, there'd never be any progress.
