Hmm, I would like a front-panel 'media-bay' USB, memory card
slots,
not sure about the feasability of FireWire on Amigas. (has to
be built into an accelerator card, I have heard??)
A second vote for an easier-to-open tower case....also have a Power Tower
 and I love it, but worry about when I have to take off the
cover to upgrade RAM, replace floppy drive, etc. BUT, I would
want any new tower to be built as strong as the PowerTower,
....it's not the prettiest, doesn't have all the fancy features,
but it works,....my current A1200 PowerTower setup has
outlasted any other Amiga system I have ever owned...

I actually would like an LED-lighted fan controller thing, if
it was made in a color that matched the tower case....
:)

Would kind of like a special power LED/switch done in the shape of a
boing ball, maybe with one of those color-cahnging LED's,
hooked up to some sort of relay/timer to cycle colors for
about 10 seconds, while the Amiga boots....no, I don't know how
this would be done...but the LED's are available in the US.

I like the idea of removable side panel. I would like to see
a bigger tower, as well. Not just more clearance between bays
but more bays...

@Boot WB: Well, my 'ideal' for the color-changing LED idea,
was a transparent Boing ball type badge, the color-changing
LED in the center for HD activity, maybe a ring around it,
for power LED. I just would like a tower that could not be
mistaken for anything but an Amiga :)
