[comp.sys.amiga] Seeking opinions on Bill's Board

I am seriously considering buying Bill's Boards bus expander for my
A1000.  I received their literature describing it fairly well.  Now
I would like to hear the opinions of any current owners of
this product:

     Is it relatively easy to assemble if your're not a hardware expert?

     Where is the best place to get the AT case and power supply?

     Is there a particular AT case that works out the best (no drilling)?

     What kinds of expansion boards are you using in it?
     (I have an A2090, A2052, and FastBack hard card that I want to use)

     Can you use an XT-compatible hardcard (like the FastBack) with the 
     A1000 without having a bridgeboard installed in the bus expander as well?

                                         Thanks,

I haven't received any replies from people who already bought one
and are using it.  To obtain the literature from Bill's Boards, you
can call 619-486-0908 and leave your name and address on their answering
machine.  They will mail you the specs within a few days.  If you don't
want to make a long distance phone call to an answering machine, just
drop them a line to the following address and they should respond.
I haven't decided yet if I'm going to buy one.
