Gee, most people really like the way my Amiga 2000 "Tower" System looks.
I just picked up a stock adjustable PC floor stand and a PC Keyboard
Extender cable and voila - a low monitor (on a swivel stand), a mouse
and the keyboard. Looks pretty slick and works like a charm. The floppies
sit right up near the top of the case making it rather easy to reach down
and put new and wonderful things inside them :-)
