@AmigaBlitter

Amiga's still need an optical drive so I'd go with this one:

As we await the release of AmigaOS 4.1 FE for X5000/A1222, it would a nice gesture for Amigakit/A-eon to let us see the case they have decided upon.

That Kubb looks really nice and is simple idea also. It's like a design item. It looks like you'll have to buy the whole computer from them. It looks like shells don't come with a chassis to install your own motherboard on and no back panel.

On their pictures they have the idea of what I've been thinking when you'll make a custom case design create a GUI theme for the installed OS which looks the same as the case as well.

@AmigaBlitter

I rather like the case you referenced, the other two get increasingly ugly.
But the respondents are right that you might want a case the has provisions for an optical drive.

Further, as these cases could only be used to house an FPGA or Tabor board, I probably should regrain from even commenting as the latter is not a system I find appealing.

PC style towers are ugly

Bring back the traditional Amiga wedge!

Kind regards,

If Aeon had real balls they would put Tabor board in this.

I'd rather have an A1000-style case with a keyboard garage. Or an A3000-style case, which I think was the best looking of the lot.

@AmigaBlitter

Got my X5000 in a NZXT Case



More or less the same as the Fractal Design R series used on the X1000 but with 3 5.25" Bays

@iggy

When considering the current Amiga economy the X500 wedge case is a valiant effort, but it seriously lacks style. It has no panache.

It's a pity A-Eon don't make a mini ITX board. Here's the case I plan to get later this year for my mini ITX AMD AM4 gaming rig. DeepCool Gamer Storm TRISTELLAR

And before you start writing how Acube's Tabor 1222 is a mini ITX board let me just stop you right there.
Would anyone seriously sully such an amazing case with the likes of the crippled-at-birth board that is the Tabor?

What would be cool, and it would't be that expensive, is to source a case similar to the
DeepCool TESSERACT SW-RD and get a custom mesh for the front fan. The mesh would be a grid square of alternating densities so when you turn on the Amiga, the red LED in the fan would reveal a Boing Ball.
