I always fancied an AmigaOne of some kind. So, a few months ago, I bidded on one which came up on eBay, and won it for about £100 . It included the XE G4 motherboard, a graphics card, an IDE card, and a copy of AmigaOS 4.1.
I haven't built it up into a working system yet (due to lack of components), but I did pinch the PSU from my main PC just to test it, and confirm that it does indeed work.
After sitting around for a bit, I finally managed to get an ATX case for it. I was looking for something quite small, so I eventually settled on a Powercool 3060, which is quite small for a full ATX case. It got it for about £20. Its clearly not as well built as my main PC's Lian Li case, but it's still quite nice.
Now I just need to get a PSU and an IDE hard drive (or maybe I should use compact flash/SSD?). I can probably recycle a CD/DVD drive and a floppy drive from my spare parts collection.
I reckon I'll be having plenty of fun with this
Here's the Powercool case (which can be used either as a desktop or tower):
