Now, what we need is someone to clone the A1000 case... any takers? 
I might be able to reproduce a case with my modeling software. That would allow many plastics or rapid prototyping houses to produce the needed parts from my templates. It would take a bare case and time. Both of which I am terribly short on right now. I have a 1000, but I dont' think I want to strip it down. Maybe I can find a derelict some where.
