Well not really, they have provided all of us with fake photos of the thing.
Mock-ups and concept art are only really "fake" if they're the stuff of pure fantasy. I was impressed by how closely the finished X1000 case resembled the original photoshopped image - even down to the positioning and appearance of the engraved boing ball on the front.
I might be wrong here, but I believe it was actually the image they sent to the manufacturer. An image genuinely involved in the design and production of something is hardly a fake
Have you seen the fake fascia with the boing ball on it? The actual fascia is black and flat, with no engravings whatsoever.
Perhaps you'd like to explain this curious optical illusion that was photographed in Switzerland in September then:
It's been known for ages that the AmigaOne X1000 case would just be a commercial available case with custom engraving. It's no surprise that the X1000 was first seen in a plain, unadorned version of that case (I'm sure they had more important things to worry about at that stage). There's enough genuine areas for discussion surrounding the X1000 project and its value without inventing unfounded points of criticism.
Anyway, think you should retract your claim that "The actual fascia is black and flat, with no engravings whatsoever"
