Hi all,

after receiving many encouraging notes about my system including prompts to tell more people about it, I finally gave in and would like to tell you about my Amiga.

Sorry if its the wrong forum.

It is an A1000/Phoenixboard system, with the following setup:

System:
- A1k /w Phoenixboard, 2MB CHipRAM + SCSI, SCSI-Hack

- Derringer 030 @ 50 Mhz & 32MB RAM
- Video-Konverter (Electronic Design Germany)
. for S-Video and colour FBAS-Out
- Delfina Clockport Vers.
- Highway USB-Interface
- Norway Ethernet-Interface
- Hypercom 3+ Interface-Card
- IBM 1GB HDD
- HD-Floppy
- ICD Flicker-Free Video 2

- External DD-Floppy

A few pics can be found here:

The assembled case does not show anything noteworthy(except on the back of course), so I decided to skip pictures of that.

As I mentioned, I am not really sure if people outside of a1k.org are interested, but hey, its a nice system, so why not.

Yours,

Sounds breathtaking  :-o

Very cool stuff !! THese phoenix boards are new ??

Does 1990 sound new to you?  ;-)
AFAIK 25 unfinshed boards were put together and sold in 2004/2005 and there are/were some efforts to restart production, dunno if there still is any activity...

You can find info Here
Also here

very interesting system, McTrinsic!

The only A1000 "monster" a saw, was the one by Paul... "Frankenthousand, the monster A1000!" have you ever seen it? (different approach than yours but nice anyway)

@framiga
I have read about that Frankenthousand (I really dont like that name, btw) in Paul's sig... do you have a link? Never seen something about the system itself.

@techie
You can actually mount the system in any AT-Formfactor case, the screws will fit. It got an according connector for power. Admittedly, you will need a naw backplate, but those are easy to make. And the board is not that expensive. What about putting it in a nice IBM-Workstation case from back then?

The A1000 case is the best PC case ever for me - that's why it was so utterly important for me that you don't see anything on the outside. The modern deisgners of new PC cases all fail to solve one problem: where do I store the keyboard? That quastion is, for example, important for home theater systems. one example is the Shuttple XPC series: wonderful  design ... but where the heck am I supposed to put the keyboard?

@spihunter
Uhm... was that "pimp my Amiga" something good or bad? I know MTV's "Pimp my ride"... which used to totally screw the cars on the outside. I wanted an Amiga 1000 - just with slightly ( ) better options. Thats why you don't see anything on the outside.

@all
I just wanted to make sure that I don't an applause belonging to someone else. I only organized that project and gave some money. I did not actually build it!

Anyways - thanks a lot for your kind replies, folks!

The Amiga 1000 case design is, IMHO, one of the best designs Commodore ever came up with and it's great to see people keeping them going like this.

FYI, the A1000 case was not originally designed for the A1000.
