Wow, talk about upgrading an Amiga 😀
What do you use your Amigas for with that amount of upgrades? I suspect not only playing Lemmings and Ports of Call?
Well....
My Amiga600 is upgraded, because I get a few features extra this way. (CPU and Memory wise). Nearly all my Amiga's have a scandoubler, because I want to use LCD monitors. They are actually not that upgraded, compared to something like a Vampire accelerator. That thing is a monster. I am however playing with WHD-Loader on my Amiga600, just for the kick's of messing around with it. I like diskette's, and I have like 400/450 of those in disk boxes with Amiga software on them. And I will keep using them, untill they are all dead. Then I will get Gotek drives for them all. I have other Amiga's, and if you like really special machines, then look for my "Amiga500 in Desktop Case" on the blog. It is not fast, yet the goal for that, was to build something with the muscles/speed of a stock 500. Yet with features and in a desktop case. 😀
Gives me ideas for one of my A600s. I have two in very good original condition.
Sweet.... Just avoid upgrading an Revision 1.3 motherboard. It is not worth it. As far as I understand, by looking around. Is that the 1.3 board is the biggest PITA to work with. Many upgrades does simply not work and a lot of upgrades make the machine buggy and unstable. The 1.5 is better, however it can have minor incompatibility issues. Like on my 1.5 Amiga600, I have not been able to run other burned kickstarts than the 3.1.4 that I bought. And it was not stable enough. The Cloanto branded 2.05 rom that I bought, did not work at all and the Cloanto branded 1.3/3.1-two-in-one rom, did not work eighter. In my 1.5 Amiga600, the only kickstart rom chips that work reliable, are the original ones, made by Commodore. And then again, some revision 1.5 boards work perfect with these thing's. It is a hit-n-miss game with the Amiga600.
Are you thinking about doing a desktop version of one of your Amiga600's? As there are these PlexiGlass cases already made for Amiga600. It is a desktop-kind-of case.

EDIT:
I am thinking about getting one of them cases, and then convert my original 600-case, into a RPI machine. Using non-destructive 3D-Printed brackets and a KeyRah keyboard controller. It is just cooling that I am a bit worried about.
Don't eat stuff off a 15 year old never cleaned cpu cooler.
Those cakes make you sick....
