I personally think a Mac Mini type case is the way to go.
I also think a AmigaOne with a built in graphics card is the way to go for future Amigas. At least to get the Amiga Ball rolling. And of course fanless!

Never cared for the layout in the Fractal Designs cases, personally.  Used one in a build recently and if the one case fan goes bad you'd have to effectively gut the entire machine to get at the fan to replace it.  Tearing a MB and drives out to replace a fan is just silly.

That being said, they make one heck of a cleanly styled case.  My favorite case of all time is still the Coolermaster Cosmos, the original one.  Got a couple of them and just love them, but they are a massive case.

Getting one of the In Win D cases in for my next build, which will be all watercooled and heavily modded.  Looking forward to working with one of those.

What fractal design case do you have to gut to get the fan out?

Never had the original Cosmos, but I have the Cosmos two and it's HUGE :) The ATX motherboard looks tiny inside it ^^
Here is the inside of the roomy Cosmos II



Not to bad looking case in my opinion :)

One has to be careful some case designs are copyrighted and trademark. You are right I almost wanted to buy mac mini because of how small it is.  I don't know how well they could redesign the motherboard.

If you wanted something like the original cases the price would be too high.

As an alternative someone might make add-on parts from a 3-D printer?

@som99

That is an impressive case. Styled like a V-8
