I'm not sure if it'll work with your Samantha, but I use this keyboard with my Efika and it works like a charm. It's a Dell SK-8135 and has a two-port USB (1.1) hub built-in (I use it to connect a mouse or other low-speed devices). Never had any problems with it, and the extra multimedia keys (like Mute and Volume Knob) work in MorphOS on Efika with no problems. So I can assume there won't be any on Samantha either. Good luck with your search =)

Case for Efika... Long story!

I'm still building mine, I got almost all I need.

My choice was this 5.25" enclosure:

Bought from Maplin for 25 quid. What I liked about was the aluminium finish and mesh sides :) And it's really easy to access with the screws on top (and bottom).

Efika fits there perfectly, even with the longer-than-usual Radeon 9250 with 256MB (they are longer than 128MB Radeons).

The enclosure comes with the 12V AC/DC adapter aswell, so I used it to power my PicoPSU (which also fits perfectly in this enclosure).

All I need to do now is to make some kind of a back-plate with the holes for Efika layout.

I'll post some photos when I reach the right stage =)

Good luck with your project.
