- Not if the tower is big enough... I put my A3000 into a PC tower as such
- (oh, I removed to cover ;-), no problems with expansion cards and
- such. I had to make the opening at the back a bit larger so
- that I could get all the necessary connectors visible, though.
- And a new cable for internal floppy drive, because I had to put it
- into a 5.25" place (I couldn't use 3.5" places because Warp Engine
- is a little bit too high).
-
- It took a few evenings (partly due to bad tools) but I'm happy with
- the results.
