Towered Amigas seem so 1990s.  Back then, Commodore had abandoned us and our wedge Amigas were getting long in the tooth.  PCs were all going for the towered case design and it seemed like some Amiga owners were feeling a little inadequate and so were quick to transplant the A1200s into towers. We seemed a little ashamed of our "wedgies"!

But now it's 2016 and computers are small again!  Towers now seem old-fashioned, while wedge computers are retro cool!  Plus - the new Amiga peripherals are nice and small.

The A1200 wedge case should be appreciated as an irreplaceable vintage computer component and as a piece of industrial design from the golden era of personal computing - and thus preserved and used wherever possible!
