@ Belia6

What a load of total cobblers, I don't consider because I am an Amiga user of 25 years that this somehow make me an elitist, it's dunderheeds like you who bandy such claptrap about that are the one who think they are elitist. Why don't you take you silly views and stick them up yer bahooky... what a total numptie... :lol:

@ Kesa
Where you been hiding, I was starting to think the floating turd had got you...

LOL! Run for president man, or prime minister...

[TheDaddy]

As english is not my first language I do use the grammar wrongly so sometimes my posts don't get through as well as I would like them to be, even so, it's not an excuse and I just want to clarify that I don't hate CUSA, as I said before, I even got contacted by CUSA to make a case for them or better include my design in their range, something I am still considering so how would I go on to hate them?

See they even considered someone like me who makes unprofessional looking designs like the Minimig case

[TheDaddy]

Nah... imagine the number of assassination attempts I'd get, it's hard enough being a coffin dodger let alone dodging bullets...

(Although if I did I'd ban PC's and put an Amiga in every home...

Yeah...true...but at least it would be fun

>>Of course not. Your here to complain about someone elses. Being the only supplier of a product will help in getting people to ask for more, even if it is only a hobby level of quality. I don't blame them. Contrary to your claim, modifying an existing case to fit a board is a PITA. So, if someone is selling something functional you go for it.

I am not here to complain about anyone, you are trying really hard to make it look like that. And again you call my design "a hobby level of quality".

Again we are not here to discuss my design which is down to the customers to decide the quality of. You are just stirring shit and your arguments are failing. You, sir FAIL!

>>'engineering precision'? Sounds a little like claims of 'mil spec'. Based on the photos you have posted, you have a very loose definition of 'engineering precision'.

Are you for real? Check the definition or go back to school.

>>Your cases look fine for a single person working in his garage. They do not look like cases produced by a business.

Erm...did I ever say I was a business? Oh my god, do they still make people like you?

>>They don't look professional. They look like hobby cases.

You don't look professional either.

>>I don't care what their budget is, the prototypes of the PC64 cases look very good.

ROFL!

>>It is not just a C64 case with some cutouts for a DVD and a card reader. It is a reproduction. It certainly takes more skill to produce a good reproduction than it takes to make a plastic box with a few holes cut out of it.

Very funny, keep them coming. You know f*ck all about it and you are still talking.

>>Of course it looks very 1980's and it's not very original. That is the point of a 1980's reproduction. If it didn't look 1980's and was original, it would have failed in it's goal.

Suggestion: go back to school, get a diploma, then get a degree, then do some training then start designing stuff then we'll talk again.

>>They look professional. They do not look like hobby projects which is what most people would get if they spent a great deal of time trying to fit a PC into an original C64 case.

Oh my...never mind, waste of time talking to you, I suggest you follow Franko's suggestion to the letter

Waste of time.

[TheDaddy]

What a cock!

Slagging off something he knows nothing about (based on the pictures you posted)...WTF?

Read the comments people have left, touch it, feel it, play with it, use it then vomit your personal opinion on it if you must.

Your crusade against the Minimig case makes you look pretty pathetic.

[TheDaddy]

Make what personal insults you want.  It won't fill the gaps in the cases, and it won't make the edges line up.

No, I am not going to buy one of your cases to to prove that they are hobby quality.  You have posted perfectly fine pictures showing the quality.

You started insulting my hard work and now you get upset because I call you a cock?!
How does this work?
Gaps in the cases and the edges don't line up? HA! Try harder. Pathetic.
You can't buy my cases you prick because they are all SOLD OUT!
Read again...SOLD OUT.

[TheDaddy]

Please stop editing your posts AFTER someone has quoted one of them. I put up a witty reply which included a fantasticly brilliant photo but now it makes no sense at all  

Sorry!

I'll come up with some other "insult" soon I have got plenty for people like him.

[TheDaddy]

What a spanner!

[TheDaddy]

I wake up this morning to see this thread spiraling out of control. I won’t point fingers, we are all adults here. Let us PLEASE get back on topic and not resort to personal attacks?

Not so sure about the adult bit though...damn it I should have chucked a few more "insults" in before you woke up, missed an opportunity...

[TheDaddy]

One thing I don't get. Some complain about the PC64 case looks too old etc. etc.
HUH ? It's SUPPOSED to look 80's, is that news to anyone then tell me all about it.

And the plastic prototype you see on their pages came from a printer. It can't look as good as one that came from a injection moulding machine.

It's just a matter of opinion, personally I think it's a bit weird that you re-invent the wheel. From a design point of view (aesthetically) it should have been a take on the C64 case looks.

Look at all the various retro looking cars and take ons of various successful designs of the past. VW did NOT make the Beetle look exactly the same did they? BMW didn't make the new Mini look exactly the same, Fiat didn't make the new Fiat Cinquecento exactly the same as the original did they? This looks exactly the same as the C64 case.

So you would expect the A1000, 2000, 3000 and 4000 to look exactly the same as the original...they don't. They are black HTPCs.

Never said anything about the prototype...I can get that it is a prototype...

So just a personal opinion.

[TheDaddy]

Umm...I think the idea of it looking exactly like a C64 was the whole point.
The problem with using an original C64 case (beyond mangling an original) would be the keyboard.  You would have to buy a Keyrah adaptor....but I think that what CommodoreUSA has done with the very retro looking PC keyboard is a nice touch.



If you read the website you will see these are preliminary prototypes done on a resin printer.

I'm not trying to defend CommodoreUSA but I do think the case (assuming the final will be of the correct colour and be more precisely made) is a retro-product done right.  I will remain suspicious of them until I see them actually on the market though...

1) Erm...it's my personal opinion, it should have been a take on the old design.

2) you have got the wrong end of the stick, the previous poster Belia6 (or whatever) was attacking my Minimig case (gaps etc...) he was trying to say that my design has gaps in the panel which is utter bull.

[TheDaddy]

The gaps an non-lined up edges are in reference to TheDaddy's cases not CUSA's.

Again, there aren't any...stop freaking trying to throw dirt on my work.

[TheDaddy]

As I said I am working on projects that might become part of CUSA stock so stop trying to make me look like I hate them as I don't...for obvious reasons
