I don't agree. Most of the people I showed the case to, friends, collegues and so on, at least those who knew what an Amiga looks like were surprized (nicely) to see the transformation. One collegue said:"NO {bleep}! that aint an Amiga!" so I started explaining what I did and how and then directed him to the website.
A lot of people has said that about my towers as well, it doesn't make me feel special.
I agree that people have seen it before but that doesn't mean you can't have another shot at it and share the fruit of your work with other "supposedly" Amigans...
I have never said that people can't have a go at it. People are free to do what they like to do with their towers, paint, windows, led fans and what else that can be done.
So in a way you are telling everyone NOT to bother if they have done something similar to their Amigas and consequently helping to put some "external" attention to the Amiga name as I have done through my website, only because..."it's been done, oh I have already seen that!"
If you see it like that, then you have misunderstood my meaning with the phrase. I asked if putting an Amiga in a customized PC tower could be seen as a mod. If it is a mod or not, THAT is what didn't matter anyways....
Personally I think it is great that people post their work; it gives inspiration to people that are thinking of doing the same, and helps people to avoid mistakes others migth have made.
if you change just the colour of the switches or the front panel you have modded.
Different people have different opinions. I personally think a bit more has to be done to make it a mod, but I know some won't agree with me and that is the way the world works today.
