Mediator Desktop Box Project: the Wooden Amiga

Mediator Desktop Box Project: G4 PPC in a box
 
Developer: Fisherking Demonstrated: January 2001

One of my PC owning friends has a running joke that the Amiga is made of wood. 'Powered by Amiga?', 'Powered by Steam more like' they often say. Imagine their surprise when I finally agree that the Amiga is made of wood, and use the Desktop Box project as proof! ;)

The Mediator Desktop Box project was constructed by an individual calling himself 'Fisherking'. The project began when he received the Mediator PCI busboard and realised that the PCI slots did not match the spaces in his PC tower. After some thought he decided to construct his own desktop case made entirely from wood. The purpose-constructed box has a 4 inch slot in the front for the insertion of floppy disks, and a large gap in the side for two CD-ROM drives.
