I've seen this pic of the 'new' Amiga from Commodore USA and I was quite pleased I might say, sleek, clean, somewhat reminescent of A1000.
Sadly when I got to see the real Amiga Mini I was a bit disappointed, good specks though...

Where do you see this? I like the idea if it ran AmigaOS 4 or MOS.

Cheers,

@tekmage

It looks even better in brushed aluminium.

But it's all greek to me.

Nice case but it is nothing more than an overpriced PC.

Why the hell they used the Amiga brand on this?

Anyway CUSA and uts products is just crap to me.

However i would take just the case and put anything NG Amiga that would fit in there. Lol.

I think they were going to call this one the Amiga 1000x.

In various CUSA postings some years ago.

The case they were going to use was identified at the time. If they are still available you could always get someone to custom engrave it and put a Sam ine the 440 itx would fit but not sure if you could get a 440 flex or 460 in there since I can't remember the case spec now.

@pixie

Lovely box, sadly it lacks the spirit of what Amiga was all about - a custom chip based computer with a real soul.

Now, what would have been nice would be this box, with a powerful FPGA motherboard and a completely overhauled classic OS powered with super AAA+ custom chip cores, to allow us to have all the creative fun in world, as it used to be... ::sigh::

Q!

@lylehaze

Have to say that this case are simply fantastic.

The case is a Wesena E5.

It states that it takes micro ATX so a Sam Flex 440 or 460 will fit.



Getting an GFX card and SATA card in there with a 460 might be a problem though.

@Rob

You need the engraved Amiga logo on in to add more charm.

The Commodore logo is also wonderfull.

this exactly shows the degree of despair when amiga public cheers an ugly pretentious case for very rough resemblance of the iconic amiga design. its about the same as if someone would be fond of mid nineties models of macintosh performa being flat desktops with the cd bay (popularly called pizza box btw, just to remind what the customers thought of the design).

btw, funny that i cannot log in here from my official polish mobile ip, but through first best anon proxy, because of the ip has been banned. reminds me of some other site where the users deem such practices necessary.

@AmigaBlitter

Perhaps it's because I came to Amiga via Sinclair hardware but the Commodore brand means little to me. In fact, I believe that Escom's decision to spin off Amiga as as separate entity was the right one.

What's "Amiga USA" ?

I don't like the case, it looks cheap. But what's inside is that matters. Not that this has anything to do with Amiga ...

@toRus

Have no idea, perhaps a freudian slip! :D

Maybe you're confusing things here because "pizza box" has nothing to do with the beautfulness/ugliness of the design, it's just a common name for a form factor that was popular back then.
In fact you had very horrible/anonymous things called "pizza box" and yet you had beautiful designs like NeXT Station and SGI Indy equally called "pizza box".

I wonder how many design degrees you have or the reason why your taste is somehow better or more enlighten then the rest.

That company was (is?) called Commodore USA and introduced several retro styled computers like C64x and Amiga Mini running Linux distribution called CommodoreOS.

However, these computers were too expensive (introductory price of Amiga Mini was 2400 USD! ...falling to 1500 USD in one week), company and its founder Barry Altman (RIP) did nearly anything to alienate Amiga community and it seems to end as another Amiga commercial failure (A-Eon probably sold more X1000s than CommodoreUSA Amiga Minis).

Note: Linked post is 2 years old.

@pavlor,

Hmm, didn't that OS turn out to be a modified Linux Mint or something?

Hmm, this makes me think about a person that posts here.

I'm only aware of one person who bought an Amiga Mini. I could be wrong but I strongly suspect that it was the only rebranded Zbox they had.
