Title: Nice custom made Amiga case
Post by: rvo_nl on February 17, 2012, 01:59:59 PM

By accident I stumbled upon this page:

http://www.fantasi.se/history.php

Might be old news for you ppl, but I was really amazed by the effort that went into it. I especially liked the part where an old car stereo was adapted to serve as a C64 datasette (yes there is a c64 in there, too).

Really impressive work!

Yeah okay, its not a great looking front, but the paint job is excellent.

Damn, he's certainly gone to some effort to do all that. :)

Nice result.

More than just a case mod. His case modding was very much like the old Eyetech towers, but he did go a whole lot further. Great stuff and worthy of some kudos.

Thanks for the nice words!
It has taken quite some time to do everything but obviously it was done over several years starting with just a few small hacks in the desktop to the complete makeover as can be seen on the page.
There's a lot more to do but over the last couple of years I haven't had much time for this project. Hopefully I will be able to come back to it sometime.

Glad you liked it!
