Couple of points:
You would need some software for the CD-ROM. If you want CD32 compatibility then
it'll have to be commercial (& that means packaged with the drive as far as I
know).
There's been a lot written about PC cases for A1200s in various mags recently. I
know that there was a tower system available in the past, but haven't seen an ad
in ages. I assume that you want Zorro slots & not just a tidy desk. This is said
to be a major undertaking electronics wise.
BTW if you find a supplier then let me know, 'cos I'm _very_ tempted to get a
graphics card.
