Amiga 4000 in Elbox Power Tower PicassoII RTG

My latest project involves a barebones Elbox Power Tower I got from Amibay including the A4000 Motherboard and all the connectors.

I plumbed in a spare 030 processor board I have here its only 25mhz but actually fairly capable for a basic CPU! I'll be upgrading the CPU shortly to an 040 @ 25mhz

Fast Ram is 40mb, 8mb from Motherboard fast and 32mb on the Z3 Fastlane which is driving a SCSI CDROM. (Will put a nice fast SCSI HDD on here soon) For now there is a 4gb CF-IDE HDD running Classic Workbench ADV, I went for thos OS which is based on Workbench 3.1 becuase the icon pack although simple is very slick and runs well even on a basic setup.

Graphics are from a PicassoII, I wasn't expecting this to be as good being a PicassoIV user, however the simple AGA passthrough works great as you can see and the screens load pretty fast, so I'm well chuffed. Screenmode here is 800x600 16bit.

Networking is from an X-Surf Zorro LAN card connected to a Belkin Wifi Gaming adapter to get me online via my Wireless Network.

Hope you enjoy the vid :-)
