Out of curiosity, what makes a PC in a C64 case an interest to an amiga community, as opposed to a C64 one?
Im not actually trying to be snide here, I think its a cool idea, if overpriced for what you get.
But Im not sure there's much relevance other than "the company that made your computer also made this other computer, so here's a netbook power PC put into that case".
A PC in a spectrum case would be as relevant.
If I was in the market for something "retro amiga" that isnt my 1200, I'd go with Morph OS instead
I think I have an answer to this question.
Both myself and Motorolin have tried to build a Mini-ITX into an old A1200 case (I'm sure others have tried too), but it was a struggle. The Mini-ITX boards had bits and bobs sticking out too far and at inconvenient angles to fit inside the A1200's svelt case...
then there are difficulties interfacing the A1200's keyboard, which has no controller mcu... The problems just go on
If enough people buy this CUSA thing, then maybe CUSA will build and A1200 (or perhaps ans A600) version. Buy one, pop AROS/UAE on it and be happy. This is for the non purist retro scene (of which I am most definitely part of), rather than the purist hobby scene.
As an asside, if CUSA do make an Amiga version, then I hope they employ on of our FPGA experts to build an I/O board so I can hook up my 9pin mouse/joysticks, an Amiga floppy external port (so I can read my old floppies)
