Indeed, it's from an earlier discussion where it wasn't clear to anyone. The complaint was that there were no RTG solutions for the A1200 because the Warp guys were taking too long for this guy's personal requirements. When the Mediator was pointed out, then it was revealed that tower cases aren't an option. When it was pointed out that a single Zorro-II expansion already existed but had practically no demand and wouldn't fit in the wedge case, it was revealed that the A1200 was to go in something that wasn't a tower but wasn't a wedge. The Checkmate was the obvious solution, but that presents its own issues too...

If it’s for something like a checkmate 1500 case then I’ve done something like this but using a 603e 040/ppc and a G-Rex with voodoo 3, network and sound cards (PCI) using pci extenders.

Nice, fitting that in the Checkmate must be a bit of a squeeze... And impossible entirely for anything that doesn't connect directly to the accelerator as the width of the case precludes the use of any busboard that fits between the accelerator and motherboard, like the Mediator and Zorro-II solutions.

I believe there is a Zorro extender that Steve Jones produces for this case but for the A500/500+ boards.

Indeed there is, and it lines up with the end of the case. A similar solution for the A1200 isn't as easy unfortunately, due to the accelerator fitting issue above and the requirement to move the expansion port to elsewhere so it doesn't interfere with the drive bays, PSU and other casework.
