Amiga Walker case (yes another one!)

[JuvUK]

Hi all,

i wanted to make a Walker case, i know many others have had a go at this with some being stunning, so here is my attempt

the case is all ali and has taken a long, long time to complete, i am pleased with the results but i had to make some comprimises to get everything inside and working, anyway here it is

and a few more shots

nothing exciting, it is just a core2duo with 4gb and a keyrah so i can use Amiga joysticks

I'd stick in an FPGA ARCADE board and make it a decent computer

how so? what would i gain?

actually i made a black A1200 with a laptop mobo inside, i took it to the show in Blackpool a couple of years ago, no one knew it was a PC till they were told.

it looked like an Amiga and felt like an Amiga

there is a link to it here

Wow, looks great!  How much work would you say you put into doing that?  Hours/cost?

hmmmm good question, i suppose the cost could be worked out, time to scare myself

design, machining, welding and cutting time, very approx - 25 to 30 hours, going rate about £45 an hour so £1350 ish.

Material - ali sheet, 2 x ali panels and 4 x ali blocks for the feet - £100

Filling, shaping and painting - £80

PC mobo, memory, hard drive, dvd drive, usb car reader, keyrah, keybaord and mouse - £110 ish

very approx total - £1640

glad i didn't need to pay some one else for all that lol
