I don't see anything special about the case design. I mean, it looks good but really that's only because it's vaguely modeled after Apple's workstations. For instance, the prominence of the branding on the side panels, 'though they got it a little off and the positioning is really awkward to look at. This is less industrial design and more like an echo of the deluge of transparent coloured PC accessories that appeared in the wake of the original iMac.

What bothers me more is the talk of Commodore, the veteran computing firm releasing new machines as though they really have anything to do with the real Commodore, and then for people to get excited that they might do something for the Amiga community - dream on. They're using the Commodore name to shift units and nothing else; they'd do the same with Amiga except that they don't own that trademark.
