Its just a piece of plastic, anybody can replace the top cover....

True, he only mangled and gloss-blacked the top cover.  The bottom looks untouched.

At least he didn't film himself blowing it up!  A tech at a community TV station near me was going to do that to 3 "obsolete" A2000s.  I just can't bring myself to understand all points of view.  ;)

Look at it from the bright side. Keyboard and motherboard can be used. :-(

He could have at least lifted his Amiga 500 over the garden flowers and fossilised it with dobs of Blueberry Syrup and let it dry to give it a glossy glass like effect. 2 Blueberry Glass 500 Ball's make good hanging household ornament's that look like Planet Neptune. :p

I was thinking it was Bondo - fiberglass body filler.  Maybe too many years of working on cars made me guess that.  ;)


Could be right too, couldn't really make out what it was. Hmm make an Amiga case out of bondo? ;-)

By hacking another case to get the Amiga logo back? Blasphemy! ;-)

By hacking another case to get the Amiga logo back? Blasphemy! Also in this case it proves not everyone can replace the top cover ;-)

Wish someone would paint the top of the seller in black and dig a hole in the side of his head.  That would be either be poetic justice or another Chainsaw Massacre sequel.

What a horrible looking "computer". The guy who "refurbished" this A500 should be in another line of work.
It is amazing what you can do with a Dremel tool, and some filler and paint. But, not this way..........
A2000 GVP 40MHz \'030, 21Mb RAM SD/FF, 2 floppies, internal CD-ROM drive, micromys v3 w/laser mouse
A1000 Microbotics Starboard II w/2Mb 1080, & external floppy (AIRdrive)
C-128 w/1571, 1750, & Final Cartridge III+
