@Trixie

I tend to agree, but the drive blanking plates can be custom made as I am going to release the drawings so if somebody wants to put one in then they can but it will need some work on there part

There's probably space somewhere to fit a standalone Vampire in there with it. I think the V4 has a similar footprint to a 3.5" drive.

@Rob

The vampire will fit easily alone, just need to make base and back plate and cable to reach rear of case. At least the cost of case is less than vampire, now fitting a Raspberry Pi alone, not so much

With a full-height or a low-profile gfx card?

@Trixie

Yes the system is designed with a two slot bays so I am aiming to install a GTX1080 so any AmigaOne card will fit with a PCIE riser.

@tlosm

Prefer to leave blank in the mould for a wide catch

@Kronos

Sorry about the facebook part but this is only in development and it helps to have a small crowd to start. I promise to have a web site before Kickstarter however

No news of A1222 to quiet for my liking. Well done Hyperion you really have rubbed the community up the wrong way this time. A1200 / Vampire for me

@kamelit0

It is a private Facebook group but everyone is admitted.

The case is designed to have an optional stand to allow Ten Keyless keyboards to slide underneath like the A1000.

I will upload some newer images here but here is the latest video for now.

Love it. I always thought my 3000 should have had a keyboard garage. The modular legs are perfect.

Can't wait to put Vampire standalone in it.

I too will purchase this case. Hopefully I don't miss it when it comes out. I tend to arrive late at parties...
