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

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

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 |

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

Looks good, hope you find that black CD drive, other wise you'll have to pull the faceplate and paint it yourself
