Exclusive! Amiga Walker concept designs

[System]

To celebrate the World of Amiga show, Amiga Interactive Guide is proud to reveal six concept designs of the Amiga Walker. Weep nostalgic tears for the familiar desktop! Jump for joy at the mini-tower version! And quake in fear at the bizarre blue Walker!

I actually quite like the Walker. Unlike todays PC cases which are basically elongated cubes (some very pretty elongated cubes, but cubes non the less), the Walker does something different.

OK maybe it is a bit too different for most people, but to be honest I would rather have an AmigaONE in one of those cases then a standard STX case. Why? Because the when people look at it they won't see a WindowsPC, they will go "WHAT THE HECK IS THAT THING?" (ok maybe not shouting ;-)).

I think it is also rather cute, have the smaller one sitting next to my monitor. I don't really need to have a PC with 3-4x5.25" bays and 3-4x3.5" bays. All I need is a Floppy (or Iomega zip drive), a hard disk and a CD-RW.

Still, I will now go and drink my cup of arsenic :-D

I just noticed, I said STX on my last post, that should be ATX

DOH!

The only problem is the fact that the A1 is an full ATX style motherboard. I think that it maybe too big to fit into the small desktop models, but should be fine for the "tower" version.

I would love to see the A1 in the uATX style (like the Peg is), that could then fit into the standard Walker case.

I would like to have the walker case too, but I think the design of it would be difficult to adapt to a uATX case let alone a full blown ATX case!

The problem is that Thendic own the rights to it (if I read the page correctly) so while they may make a uATX one for the Peg, I doubt that unless they let people buy it on its own and Eyetech make a uATX A1 board we won't be having an AmigaONE Walker  :boohoo:
