Which Amiga chassi do you find most attractive?

Nowadays it's possible to put high end electronics in low end chassi or low end electronics in high end chassi. And some are not originals at all

[freqmax]

Not a fan of the A3000 computer or the A3000 chassi?

[freqmax]

Seems the popular ones are:

A1000


A1200


A3000


A3000T

Pictures of the wedge things

A500


A600


A1200

A2000 was quite an ugly one though, a big beige block of a thing.

All your chassis is futile it will be monolithed-2000

A3000 and A1000 seems to be the thing
(thoe A600 is missing from the poll)

It's all about shallow looks

As these days you can put a giraf into a tiger that sounds like a frog

On the A600 Commodore management massacred the arrow + numeric pad and missed AGA. But points for the most compact Amiga chassi ever.

However this is more about what looks good, say A4000 motherboard in A600 chassi etc when the choice is free.

Perhaps one should ask how should a chassi look like to look really Amigish?

[freqmax]

Perhaps something like Akikos box with a large black plastic and a C= logo shaped LED behind it would be neat? or perhaps a red checker boing-ball

The sides could be slightly vobbly to conduct more heat and look neat at the same time with the C= style color white cream.

Guess there's nothing really commodorish, except:
 * The colour scheme with grey keys and white cream chassi
 * The logo C=
 * Bouncing Boing-balls with checker pattern
 * Plastic vents that usually went above the keyboard on wedge models
 * Rounded edges

Ofcourse it says "boing-bom-chack" in Kraftwerk style instead of beep

Someone up for something raytraced?

[freqmax]

Too make it sexy there has to be a flatscreen behind the smoked glas that shows the checker boing balls bouncing around

When you said "THE Amiga" I thought you meant Lorraine with it's 7400 chips laid out on multiple circuitboards ..
