WTB: A case for an Amiga 3000T
« on: September 30, 2013, 04:02:18 PM »
I have a lonely Amiga 3000T motherboard and I am looking for an original case (like this) for it. Willing to pay for shipping from just about anywhere.

Not helping you a whole lot, but I once bought a surplus A3000T case (to house an A1200 =) for not a lot of money of amigis.nl in Middelburg, Netherlands. They had a whole stack of stuff they got from Commodore Netherlands I think. They're defunct now but perhaps you could try the phone number listed on the cached version over at archive.org.

In case you manage to contact them - count me on the list, too.
I've just bought A3000T in a somewhat battered case, and it could use a new skin :)

May as well just lumber yourself to the nearest high school and let some kids and the shop dude bend some metal and create your own. Find someone with a "3D" printer to make the plastic bezel and be done with it. More likely to commission a case quicker that way.  ;)

Have you looked into housing it into a full size AT tower case? From my understanding thats all the original A3000T cases were. It may not look as nice, but it will be functional.

Maybe something like this one? http://search.eim.ebay.fi/?elc=3&kw=AT+tower+PC+case&ect=

Well, the entire "collecting" idea is about collecting, not about bending "some metal" or printing 3D.
Although 3D could help create the front panel ;)

As an update to conclude this thread: after some two years of searching, I have now managed to buy an original case, and I am now building my A3000T. Thread can be closed.

Thanks for all your comments and encouragements.

The original one, which came with the case, is not working (power good- signal stays low).

I have built my own adapter to use a modern ATX PSU, I bought an ATX motherboard expansion cable, changed the pinout on the 3000T's end to match it and added a small board (parts needed to generate the -5V that's missing from modern PSUs).

It's not pretty and it seems to be a problem to get an ATX PSU that would provide even close the 30A on +5V rail that the original PSU does. So far my Corsair MX430 has worked fine (under load the +5V rail drops to about 4,93V).
