Where to buy a case?

[MaDDuck]

I JUST LOVE YOUR WEBSITE/SHOP, BTW.......
Will your cases take a mediator or any other busboard??


Thanks!

These are made for the straight A4000D and A4000T,The mediator variants and the eagle for now.
The grex desk top will fit into a Standard A4000 case the only one that is a mystery to me is the promethious but if I get enough requests or somebody sends me a prometheous for me to fit into a tower case. Then I will offer them out.

NICE.............
How much longer will we have to wait???

Thats kinda like saying a Porche cost more than a Yugo.
Elbox standards on thier cases are not that high. Not to fault elbox they did a good job making a simple inexpensive case.
I can make more money selling an Elbox case than my own. Our cases cost more because they cost allot more to make.

If I took a cheap PC case cut a simple strip out the back for the Amiga ports then you could say I am offering the same thing.

These backplates are completely custom. These are SSI version cases not available retail can only be purchased by the container full (270 pieces). The ports on our cases are labled when I say labled I mean engraved and enamel filled. I could save ~$20 on the manufacturing costs alone by cutting this out. I am not into making cheap cases but high quality custom cases

Good move! Stick by your guns!!Those of us that payed WAY too much money for our Amigas when they were new know the value of an A4000 versus a Packard Bell '486!!

So... Will they [the A4000 cases] be priced around the A1200 case prices???

[MaDDuck]

This is not a *bump*, BTW

That's next week!!!

Yes I move way too slowly. Updates on the web site will be on the other portions of the site not on the Amiga.
Projects for the agencies have come up and they take precedence because of bread and butter issues.

we also seem to be under some kind of assualt.
several different virus email messages in one day from different sources.  not good

Sounds good! I'm 'under-employed' at the moment and it would be easier to swing a new case in the VERY near future.
I have your site n my bookmark bar (OSX running Safari, I REFUSE to to windows!)

Sorry to hear about the viri, that will slow you down!! BTW at last count there are 0 viri out under Mac Osx 10.2.3! Its like a cross between Amiga and Linux.
Best of luck, man!
BTW, are you in the US/Canada region?

Actually Goose- the picture doesn't seem centered! The case looks fine.
Yellow??

[MaDDuck]

Awe c'mon....
All of the other pictures turned out great!


I kinda figured it was just distorted!!

[MaDDuck]

ALSO------
I noticed a scanmagic on the A1200 MLB in your photos. I like the option you offer to add up to two cutouts, it'll take that SVGA plug nicely...

BUT-
Will there be adequit room on the interior of your A4000 designed case to string a scanmagic inside? I noticed the A4000 ones seem MUCH bigger...

[MaDDuck]

Amazing....
Is there nothing you haven't thought of???
At the time I have no mediator, graphics card, etc...

I just want to take it one step at a time (like the drunks do!) and start with a top-notch tower to put my Emplant, scanmagic, and 4000MLB in.
Next will be a PCI graphics card,
AND then PPC...

The monitor switch sounds very clever, I'd probibly stick with the HW switch versus the SW one as I'd be running Linux on it too and I don't know how the SW would react to that!!

The keyboard adapter is an old design I made about ten years ago for myself becuase the existing A1200 keyboard MPU IMHO sucked big time and had a rollover problem ("the" comes out "hte" if typed real fast). That is why it clips on the VIA not fitted on the keyboard CPU or the Keyboard membrain slot.
It bypasses the slightly buggy A1200 keyboard MPU. I think later A1200 had this fixed not sure.

It offers 100% compatibility with 100% of all windows Keyboards. The other ones can't say that. You can press as many keys as you want as all are sent. The multimedia keys are sent as two button Amiga combos. example sleep key= Right Amiga + Q. lots of neat keyboard short cuts are built in. F11 & F12= copy and paste.

It also is available in US and European models. So us people in the USA have ALL the keys mapped correctly. US & European Windows keyboards are mapped slightly different.

The A1200 version also has a header so you can plug in the reset button from the case and use it to also reset your A1200.

That is impressive!
NOW if only you could replace the keycaps to make it look like an Amiga keyboard, it would be perfect!  :-D  8-)

BTW: You people use the abbreviation 'MLB'...for motherboard? How do you reckon that?

Sorry, it's just that MOBO sounds too much like MOFU!
It's an initialism for Main Logic Board, it's used on this side of the pond more than MOBO is!

[MaDDuck]

Sorry bud!
Nobody makes any A2000 cases anymore


BUT!

Why even bother? If I had that much MLB real estate on my A4000, I'd never change a thing! Well except for adding PCI, of course!!

[MaDDuck]

So.....
How goes the retrofitting for the A3000 and more importantly the A4000?

@ MaDDuck,

Not so. A news article here or elsewhere stated that Mr Hardware Computers was launching a new line of "Classic Cases". the response to my E-Mail for an A2000 version was "check back in a couple of weeks".

Chris

ok..... :-?
I just checked mrharware and saw nothing there.

I was refereing to the cases built by:
http://revanchellc.com/

He makes awesome looking A1200 cases and he's (last I heard) working on some for the A4000 and mediator PCI
