I don't know if you're serious or not, but where did you get the idea that the AmigaOne will use the KS ROMs?  The AmigaOne uses AmigaOS independent of Kickstart and custom chips.  If you want to run your older hardware-dependent software, plug in your 1200.

Looks real to me, congrats Eyetech! Very nice!

Perhaps future version could have some distinguishing feature on or in the case. The Plexiglas of the original design was kinda funky but it was distinct.  Just something to show at a glance it is not a Wintel machine.

I suppose any variation from “stock” cases will add some cost but I think the pay back will increase if it gets peoples attention, for instance, as that pass by a demo or some other public display.

The new iMac carries this concept to extremes.

Just my $.02

The one thing I would change is to put the AMR slot between the AGP slot and the first PCI slot.  That way there would be lots of room for the heatsink/fan on the video card.  As it is you may not be able to use the first PCI slot if you have a fan on your AGP card.   And from what I've heard the Matrox cards run hot, so need it.

I wonder if it's too late to make such a small change.
