| Custom made small order production runs, with potentially few sales - always going to be expensive.

| 300 Euro's!
It's a lovely looking case, great specs but it's only an adapted PC style tower at the end of the day.
Yes, it will take a PCI backplane - I first thought it came with one!
I wish Elbox well, especially seeing as they have stuck with the Amiga for a good long time, but I'll pass on this, thanks.

| Power Tower from ElBox here. Better than the pc duct tape thingie.
(Must care that the Zorro,PIV+Apollo060 keeps securely in place)
Really nice the new. Thought too a bit pricey. A few batch understood.
More than the A1200 itself. (A few new left)
One could build a supermachine with this if put some investment.

There is no competition, or are there any other towers for sale ? |

| News item posted on Aug. 17th, and time limit to pre-order is Aug. 23rd?
Less than a week to decide if people wanted one, is not exactly a lot of time. $300 is a lot of money to get a PC case and have the correct A1200 cut-outs punched into the backplane, plus a keyboard adapter and a couple of fans. Probably depends on how those cut-outs are being done.
I agree that low production custom hardware is always going to be expensive, but I'm not sure about this case deal being a reasonable deal. |
