My experiences with this stuff:

I found this place in Germany that sold a500 keyboard cases and bought
one. I then used my A500 with the keyboard in this case for some weeks
(imagine an a500 on it's back with a cable running to the keyboard).

Next I did a bad move: I bought an a2000 case from Commodore ($$$!!!!)
and found out my hardware wouldn't fit in it. Later I bought a second
hand commodore pc-10 case from a computer junk shop in germany.
The a500 motherboard and harddrive interface fit in perfectly.
(had to apologize to my amy first for putting her in a pc-case 8^)

I've been using this setup for some time now and I'll probably
sell it when I get an A3000.

One word of warning though: I blew up two 8520's while experimenting.
