yeah the A1K was a cute machine, just a shame at the time that floppy drives were so damn big otherwise it could have been a touch more elegant.

but i have to agree, the A3K, is pretty much the best Amiga case going... just a shame the mainboard layout was so bad.
The A4K could have looked so much better, but it was basicly conforming to the PC AT standard, least the mainboard layout was neat and tidy.
The A4KT case was the worst. ok so fine, it fitted the PC spec with all the screw holes in the right places, and the PC AT power supply, but talk about wasted space! and those drive mounting cages? what was that all about? a full height tower that can only take 5 drives? well 4 as using one for the floppy. space for another PSU for all my drives and fans i had in mine..
mainboard layout wasn't the best either. its a tower for gods sake only 5?! Z3 slots? could easily have had 7 if they'd put the ports where they should have been (there were four spare holes for them on the back of the case, but due to the "modular design" you lost 2 card slots.
oh well.
when you look at it really, the A3000, and A1000 were designed and built at the height of C='s bank balance.

A500, A600, A1200x3, A2000, A3000, A4000 & a CD32.
and probably just like the rest of you, crates full of related "treasure" for the above XD
