I don't think I got the whole point of this post and all the reactions about it.
Why the Amiga community hates Commodore USA?
They're just a HW supplier that were able to build a nice c64 replica x86 case. What's really wrong with that?
Are they using the commodore name illegally? (I really don't know. I'm really asking.)

The Amiga scene, while interestingly active, it's kind of a confusing nowadays:
1) retro guys using the original hw and SW (like many other retro scenes)
2) AOS 4 - new software but they insist that it must only run on exotic hardware, otherwise it is not amiga
3) MorphOS - new software and they're more open to existent HW but constantly being criticized because the HW is too old and/or because it's an apple, not an Amiga.
4) AROS - run on (certain) x86 HW, so, you can try to get those UGLY standard PC cases, add NEON and several FANS to it (to get even uglier) and create an AROS box.
5) Natami - (can't tell too much about this option)

and then you have these guys.
Why they can't recreate the A1200 case, with a full functional "mac compatible" keyboard attached and a kit for disassembling a g4 mini and putting it inside of it?
A MorphOS G4 silent A1200 would be REAAALLLLYY cool.

Best regards,

What's cool about dead end Apple PowerPC box?

You can buy C64x case without the CUSA's x86 motherboard solution.

So anyone who points out one of the following is an Anti-CUSA "zealot"?:

(SNIP for space)
...

CUSA takes credit for other people's work.

C64x run hot, were never properly tested and have a major design flaw regarding air flow in the case.

The "top of the range games machine with state of the art graphics" was actually a cheap, low-end PC.
...


At least CUSA's X86 ITX solution has a competent northbridge, unlike a certain Teron motherboard.
