.
I think there is a company called RGB Video that makes (or retro-fits to
be more precise) A2000's to be rack mountable.  They add rack ears and put
Amy on a metal sliding tray with the usual rack handles on the front of her.
I imagine this configuration mounted inside a sturdy Star Case may last for 
a while if it didn't get beat around too much. Still, knowing how audio
gear gets bashed around, I wouldn't count on it if the gig was more than 
1 block away :-(.  Personal computers and audio/lighting racks weren't made
to be treated the same.  Still, you could carry the amiga around in a big
guitar or chello case.  It might get handled more gently that way ;-).
