Maybe Amiga Mini or Amiga Mio will be introduced again, joining other configurations. Anyway I'm still waiting the new Amiga 1000 or Amiga 500.
I discovered other resellers in Europe like http://www.amibyte.com, they sell "cheap" Amiga Mini configurations but actually they are  out of stock about that.


Probably because that CCC isn't a "real" one and seems to belone to a property reseller in Italy IIRC.  It was probably created to encourage others, except nobody wants to buy overpriced stock from a dubious supplier and then have to try and mark it up again in order to make money while being legally resonsible for all tech support and repairs.

Ah yes, here's the quote I needed from a thread on AW.net (from our friend Critanime above ;) ):

Someone has linked an apparent CCC. Going to the page it's a mess. There are links there to buy a c64x but it goes to no shop page. Also looking at the contact details the site belongs to someone who rents holiday appartments in italy.


From what I've heard, nobody signed up for the CCC program because the terms of the deal are absurd (Something about buying them for 15% less than Barry's retail price in quantities >10).

Enjoy your wait for an underpowered/overpriced PC with a misleading Amiga sticker on it and running free Linux.  If you're really bored waiting then just buy the case yourself from the real manufactuer and put your own mobo in it.

Go to the "Streacom" website and check out their latest version of the case which is the "F1C EVO".

Mind you, you know all of this anyway because you post over on the C-USA website along with the other 14 members.  The question is, who sent you here to try and mislead us or is it nobody answers your questions over there?

To be fair to Maximus I get the feeling his name was just lumped with the reseller because he brought it up on their board. Again the lack of stock on the Mini is probably because the origional case is probably eol. The only reason I can see the slim been still in stock is because the manufacturer is probably still churning them out for other people. Because wasn't Ubuntu gonna start shipping them.


Ah, then I'm sorry for doubting Maximus.  I thought he was a CUSA drone sent here to try and convince people that the company was still alive with viable products.

On a side note i worked out it would cost over £1k in vat, shipping and handling fee's to get cases sent from CUSA to the UK.


Well that would eat up the 15% discount.  Owch!

I'd love to be able to buy a commodore branded case, keyboard, mouse & mousemat and would easily pay a premium. An FPGAArcade in on of those Amiga mini cases would be sweet.


We told them that over a year ago.
