Any hardware in any case can be for anyone, anything they want it to be in reality. I have some Amiga cases devoid of hardware. Guess what? Do you honestly expect me to hunt down A2000 parts and bring those cases back from the dead this way? Not for me...

I'll stuff one full of x86 hardware, and run Amithlon and think nothing of it. In fact, when MOS 2.0 came out, I had an Efika board in an A2000 case. This was a funny one because Efika sat up on the drive tray and the entire bottom of the case was totally empty :lol:. I never called either of them original Amiga's so never lost sleep over any of this. I see some really cool case hacks out there. An x86 A1000, or mac mini A1200. It is all quite interesting to see.

Bottom line, people can do whatever they want. Or in the case of companies, do whatever they are legally or otherwise qualified to do (a company called Commodore that happens to have a c64 product that happens to be in a case that looks like a Commodore64 case). I say good for them and good for anybody in whatever it is that they do. :)
