Why no official AmigaOne case?

[bluefunk]

Trough it would rise the costs, why is there no official Amiga-case for the AOne? :-?

IMHO its also a part of the Amiga.

I think we lose a bit of the "old" identity now, while everbody has a normal PC case with his Amiga sitting in it.

Such a thing as corporate identity seems to be an
important thing to me - in case of the cases   :-D  apple is doing a good job - also if flavour is relative...

That's really a good question.  :-)

All we need, is the A1-Boing-logo to stamp on the tower case we choice...

I think that people have quite a different taste of towers, so this is an independent choice really, but the only missing part is the logo thing...

;-) That, and seeing the Amiga name molded into the plastic just as Commodore used to do it, would bring a nostalgic tear to my eye....

I wholehartly agree with you on that. That would put a tear on my eyes too. Just hope to get my motherboard very soon... :-)

Then Do what I am doing...

Eyetech are also doing a 5.25" blanking plate with the Amiga logo engraved upon it.  :-D

...I ordered one for my (soon to be ex-) Z4 tower.
(one of them little square logos with a Boing ball would be nice too !)

Is it just me, or does clicking on any little 'i' for info inco on the eyetech page, just take you to a random page of nothingness, instead of more info on the item concerned?

-Jar.

That's definitely a cute girly picture :-)

Hm,

sure people have thier cases allready -

but what I miss is the aha expirience when seeing some type of computer.

Your know, seeing an apple - you know its an apple. You even know what model it is.
I mean thats the way a product should identify, not only on bare technical specs.
Remember, all old Amiga-modells can be indentified by the design...

For an unique computer, whitch the Amiga has ever been, i'd like to see the apple way - specific cases
which also represent the inbuilt Amiga model.

What happened to those case designs from Naya designs??

"...I ordered one for my (soon to be ex-) Z4 tower."

I think Eyetech are supplying their AmigaOne systems in Z4 towers. What do you think of them?

Have you got a link to a picture of the blanking plate?

I haven`t changed my A4000D case with some high specs expansion (PCI, Tower) for the same reason : I can`t imagine my 4000 without it`s nice 4000D case, not to mention the KB. It could have been just any hardware inside (Amithlon , with the fastest 68K cpu, newer better, and more cards), but it wouldn`t feel & look like my A4000D does now.

I think there were too many people who didn't like the "umop ap!sdn" 90% clear case design.  There were many who wanted custom brushed aluminum with matching keyboard and mouse, also people who wanted the standard beige box look/feel.  Then there are those who want custom colors/flavors.  Then you have those who hate large towers and prefer desktop cases instead.  There is also a few out there who can't stand living with just 3 exposed 5.25" bays and must have a minimum of 5.  My prefered case is the PC-70 from Lian-Li with a circular window and a boing ball etched glass with dark red cold cathode tubes inside.

In a nutshell, too many people wanted something different.  The Cryst-O case can still be used for the AOne system, you just have to get it seperately is all.

Here were my early suggestions for radical A1 cases:  :-)

AmigaOne Cases?

This page was constructed back when the connection to an AGA 'board was the "way forward" -- that's the reason for the CD32 - Monolith Tower!
