The people complaining about the price here are generally the people who never buy any Amiga gear anyway.

Hi,

Quote:
It's good that you want to lower the price, but you may well find that you'll sell out at £260 anyway - in which case you can use the savings you've made as profit.


Yes of course...although as I said, no profit for a while, certainly not from this batch.

Quote:
I certainly wouldn't complain at having to spend £260 for a case like this, even if an extra £20 or so of that went to you as profit; I think you deserve it.


Thanks. All the modifications should lower the price a bit, I am thinking about a basic version, without the powder coating of the aluminium etc...etc...we'll see.

@TheDaddy

You could perhaps consider a DIY kit containing only the plastic covering and aluminium base without any finishing. That way people can finish the machine anyway they want using the parts they thing are the best suitable.

@Amiga_3k

Maybe one day...

Yesterday I finished hacking and chopping and butchering the CAD drawings and I have got new quotes...I'll keep you posted.

@Amiga_3k

All the modifications have been done and paid for (under £800)...hopefully it'll be worth it.

I have also had the parts cut so they can be put together in a sort of kit.

The X500 kit will include all the required parts (down to the smallest nut and washer)to assemble one yourself (the aluminium parts won't be sprayed so people can do what they like).

So two versions, a kit and a fully assembled/finished one will be available...

and forgot...there is a possibility of providing language layouts from:

Arabic to Ukranian Russian, still working on the Swiss (argh!)
plus an extra bonus but more on that later...

As there is no chance I can order all the keyboards with all the different language layouts requested (the stockists want an order of 25 for each language and not 2 in French, 2 in Italian, 1 in German etc...) I am having the following languages layouts, high quality adhesives made which are going to be available free with the keyboard.

Plus a small surprise for the first orders...

The following languages will be available:

Arabic
Belgian
Chinese
Danish
Dvorak
English USA
Finnish
French AZERTY
French QWERTY
German
Greek
Hungarian
Italian
Korean
Norwegian
Portuguese
Russian
Spanish
Swedish
Swiss

I'm the first in your customer's order list, right?

When I read this topic I was happy to see that new Amiga will not be that expensive :)
But then I realized it is just a case...

Life is full of disappointments...

Anyway for anyone interested there is going to be a kit version of the case which should cost a lot less...wait for the announcement.

@TheDaddy

Just watched assembly video, looks really nice and I already have several of those keyboards.

Is Sam440flex a comfortable fit with a low-profile graphics card? Take it you need some sort of external PSU?
