The risers, to put a keybord under the case, like the amiga 1000, A bay for diskettes, a bay for slot loading dvd, a bay for normal dvd. ( i will see what i need ) For the backside i choose the mini-itx/micro -atx horizental card bay. ( i don't now of that was richt for the tabor, it was a little gamble. becose there is not a lot of info about the tabor )

Did you get your DVD drive yet? The required M2 3mm screws aren't included in the pack of fittings so if none come with the drive you'll need to source those in advance as well as a suitable cable since a standard SATA power connector won't fit laptop style drives.
The horizontal card bays is the best choice since the vertical would have limited you to low profile video cards which could making sourcing something suitable more difficult. The DVD drive eject button is obscured by the face plate but there are some optical drive eject utilities on OS4 Depot
I'm just waiting for some front I/O ports to arrive before I do a PC build. I'm going to use rigid PCIe risers rather than a cable, provided they line up properly. When I've confirmed that it works I'll recommend what you need if you want an alternative to a flexi riser. |

I got the A500 version. I also bought the Zorro add-on board, the cd drive support, and some of the drive front-plates. Ready to be installed, after the build is finished, is an original X-Serf ethernet card, and a Rapid-Road Clockport USB. But the prize add-on is a Vampire 2!

Hi,
This case is a kickstarter project from Stephen Jones
https://www.checkmate1500plus.com/IntroductionAmiga.aspx
I would send a mail to Stephen and ask him if he is thinking of a second batch. (ps i think there are still some cases left... so ask him)

I don't understand how kickstarter works..
and in this case, is this the start of another kickstarter offer?
