My reason for posting it in this thread was that my initial thought was that if this could be made with a C64, it should be possible with an Amiga as well. And perhaps this page could give someone DIY person some inspiration.
Most attempts to make a portable amiga have been (in my eyes) quite horrible, design wise. Not that I could have done any better myself, but lets admit that eg. the Paws was not the most elegant laptop design ever made.
Looking around on those web-pages there is a description on how the case is made and maybe some other clues for anyone out there who wants to try to do something similar.

Edit: Must correct myself here, regarding statement of horrible DIY Amiga laptop projects. The Suzanne made by Simon Archer did look quite good.

You can see my attempt there, made mostly of wood.
And since the link i posted there last year does not work, you can check the build over at:

I managed to fit most everything in it, but battery power was a no-no :-(
