I have started this project in July 2016 and finished stage one end of January 2017.

Everything started with the Mediator PCI 4000D 3V MKIII busboard from Amigastore.

Since I loved the open concept of the tower I decided to go with the Thermaltake Core P5 ATX Wall-Mount Chassis. It can be used vertical, horizontal or be wall mounted.

But Since it is a PC case I had to make it ready for an A4000D board. Extra holes need to be cut. In addition, the appropriate spacers that everything fits with the expansion cards.

Sits, does not wiggle and has air :) ... now come the subtleties. Power, reset, power and HD led fits nicely. Now the 4 tower-specific front usb attachments connected to the spider and a mouse / joystick bracket had to be built.

Its now July, things have changed. My Mediator will find a nice new home at timtheloon's place. The only major thing what will change. I already started to upgrade the system to a Micronik 6960 busboard - otherwise no GG!!!! A dream came true!!! :)

Wing Commander runs since Friday without a break. A good sign :)
