Which Amiga chassi do you find most attractive?

[Mrs Beanbag]

I do like the look of the A1000 case but I don't like the keyboard layout. I had mentally designed an A600 case in similar style (including keyboard slot underneath, which is neat). The A3000 bezel is quite neat too and I also like the black perspex on the A4000T so maybe that would feature, too. Maybe I will build it one day. But probably not, knowing me.

Otherwise the A1200 is the best looking wedge Amiga.

Personally my favorite from all of them..is the Amiga 500 case. If there is way I can put the Amiga 1200 mother + Apollo + HD + USB Sub + Amiga 1200 Keyboard + Disk drive into the A500 case I would do it in a heart beat.

This guy managed to get an A1200 motherboard in an A600 case so anything is possible!

A600 is a nice design, but one time I tried to play Damocles on one. FAIL.

It's a shame they didn't design A1200 motherboard to fit in A600 case, the only thing that stops it fitting is the joystick port, and the mouse port was already on a detachable cable, would have been so easy to put both on detachable cables and put the screw holes in the same places. Oh well.

Also for some reason there is a slight difference in the keyboard ribbon.

All of the desktop case Amigas looked a bit like PCs... difficult not to, really, since all PCs were in that format at the time. And then towers. How to make a desktop or tower case not look like a PC? You can only make a nice one or an ugly one. PCs never came in wedge cases.

A2000 was quite an ugly one though, a big beige block of a thing.

Yes what even is a Franko, I never heard of it

A2000 does look tough... it wouldn't look out of place in an army base
