Select HD, turn the volume up and enjoy... :)
X500 Plus Black Edition specifications (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnYEmPqVbnw)

Looks nice :) What's the cost of the case? and if used with the fpgaarcade are there appropriate blanking plates for where the cd/sdcards are?

Awesome Loriano!!!

Thanks!
Still in talks with Mike about it...we might need to make covers or:
Make use of the slim DVD-RW, Card Reader or fit a floppy disk drive there.
It's really up to what Mike and users can come up with. ;)

+1 :)

Why did you make it so reflective? Do you know how that is going to be to keep clean? :whack:

It matches the keyboard, but the keys are matt. Just like all the other glossy pieces of electronics...you need to look after it, looove it with a soft cloth and off you go. :)

You should really be talking to ACube/AmigaKit to see if they have any interest in getting this into production (eg as a complete product with FPGA Arcade installed). People are much happier to buy a product from an established retailer who can handle support and warranty claims.
If it came pre-installed with AROS 68K ROMS and AROS vision that would be really cool.....oh dear, I've gone into fantasy mode again (my bad).

Nice :-D

I agree 1000%. This case plus the FPGA Arcade is the updated classic Amiga a lot of us have been waiting for.

I only trust purchasing from AmigaKit. So if the product is not there I am not buying it.

Well I have to say it makes perfect sense to sell the fpgaarcade in lorianos case.Those who cannot do this themselves like me would benefit from this.
I think alot of people would not buy just the fpga board on its own except those who might install it in an arcade cab or technical people.casual users should be targeted too.
Case+ board at amigakit etc = more sales for the fpgaarcade and lorianos case.
The x500 case should be suitable for a variety of amiga flavours so why not make it the new default miggy case,
-
just watched the vid.that case rocks.
-
I want to buy this case so much! I guess I would try to mod for a full PCI bracket instead of LP.
Put still I want this case here and now! :)
-
Thanks everyone, I am ordering the LEDs at the moment...more than 100 LEDs.
Colours: amber, green, red, blue and white, specify if interested.
Thanks! ;)
-
Wow! It's beautiful. I'm going to show this to my boss. If you can get some built in quantity it might be of interest to our build department for a new compact model.
-
Whoa, this turned out much better than I thought it would. Top stuff !
Is there a white version ?

I had no doubt that The Daddy would come out on top. His original Minimig case was a thing of simplistic beauty and you could see from that how much he pays attention to the detail and finish of his products. The only reason I never bought one of those was that I had made my own case for my Minimig out of PC keyboard. The X500 is definately where I want to put my FPGA Arcade as I've been using it with no case since I bought it. Thankfully I haven't spilt any beer on it yet. :D
-
I will be after one of these for a mini itx aros pc build .
-
Thanks everyone...
Yes there is a white version, it looks exactly the same but in...erm...white. Oh and the DVD-RW and Card Reader are going to be black I am afraid, looking for a white Card Reader/DVD-RW bezel is becoming a pain in the backside! :D

You'll miss out on many great hardware releases if you did that. Loriano has been working on this for quite sometime now.
It's looking amazing :-)

Too kind...

I remember that, it was pretty snazzy. ;)

I had a play with icaros and it went well on my mini-itx board ;)

OK...quick update:

First come first serve on choice of colour.
Cheers! ;)

White and blue sounds great to me :-)
