Case looks to be a Wesena E5 case, with the Commodore badge covering the Wesena logo.

Can be found for under a hundred bucks via a few sources.

If I was A-EON, I'd be up C-USA's arse with a flashlight over the name similarity.

Then again, I said the same thing about Apple when C-USA brought out the dead to rights clone of the Mac Mini called the "Amiga Mini".

You'd think they could at least use more inventive names that don't just parrot other makers products.  Hell, even "Amiga 1000 Pro" would have been better than just essentially ripping and flipping the "X" from X1000, lol.

Then again, a company with such inventive names as "Slim" and "Mini", I could be expecting too much.  If I ran the show I'd at least have the foresight to pick a name and buzz it through an online thesaurus and find something catchy to use and differentiate myself.

Either do I, civil conversation thus far.

Megamig

The case for the C-USA Amiga 1000x seems to be a Wesena E5 case, just a commodity HTPC Mini/Micro ATX PC case with C-USA's customizations (Commodore badge/Amiga etching).

Can be sourced for under $100 from various sources, and from what I've read they don't get terribly good reviews, though I've not used one hands on.  I'd avoid one like grim death simply because it's hard to find an adequate PSU for that form factor (Flex ATX), unless you wanted to go with an external brick.
