I had to pay for two engineers and technicians to reduce the costs, putting the drawing into CAD, machining the case (this is the most expensive part), then the first prototype finally arrived, six months later.
Now I am testing it, see if everything fits and then I am going to take photos, I believe this will be the first bespoke/original Amiga related case probably since Commodore.
Those engineers cost a fortune. If you go into something like this again in the future, feel free to contact me. I'm more than willing to help the true Amiga-enthusiast. I've got access to and know how to use Pro/ENGINEER and Unigraphics. Also I have some 10 years of experience in Mechanical Engineering.
This offer also stands to other Amiga enthusiasts wanting to pull something like this. Due to my contract these Amiga enthusiasts need to be non-profit, non-company type of enthusiasts ;-).
This message is not intended as SPAM or to advertise myself. I just love the development going on right now with all kinds of home-brew projects getting of the ground where new Amiga's and such are being developed (I even read about the re-creation of the Picasso II :-)).
