In addition to an Amiga 1200 used as Web server, I have the chance to have another Amiga 1200 at home to edit this Wiki!

Evo X500

This Amiga is hosted into a Evo X500 case by TheDaddy (see Amiga.org or AmigaWorld.net) . The Evo X500 is a custom made case designed to host mini ATX boards and featuring a USB Cherry MX Black. The Evo X500 arrives well protected in its box and taking it out is a great pleasure so beautiful it is! Here are some photos taken of different parts:

Necessary Parts

The parts necessary to fit an A1200 into an Evo X500 are not so many :

• An Indivision AGA for DVI output;
• A Cocolino mouse adapter for using a PS/2 mouse;
• A SUM USB HID Adapter for A1200 to use the Ducky keyboard;
• A PCMCIA Ethernet card;
• A U-shaped PCMCIA adapter specially designed by AmigaKt;
• A back-plate and some adapter from Datapro;
• A short Ethernet cable;
• Some DB6 female and male connectors;
• Some wire and, of course, a soldering iron!

It is simpler with a A1200 motherboard revision 1D4 or 2B because there are shorter (when removing the extra panel for the 2B) and easier to connect.

The backplate was manufactured by DataPro, which provides an amazing service! Their Web site features a plate designer that is just amazing! The plans for the backplate for my Evo X500 are available on-line for others to use

Fitting it All

Fitting them all together into the Evo X500 case requires some handy work...  And below, after some patience and work, are the two first photos of the fitting!
