A Most Curious & Unusual Case...

[Franko]

Hi Everyone...

Been wondering... just who out there has an Amiga setup in the most unusual or most curious case. I don't mean an off the shelf PC tower or such like, what I mean is a case that you have had to build or customize yourself to stuff all your Amiga goodies into.

I'll start with mine. I built it myself from wood (yes I did say wood !!!) well MDF to be more precise then spray painted it silver. I couldn't find the space for one of those orrible PC cases that are so deep you need an extension built onto your house to fit one in.

I don't claim it to be cool looking or the most amazing case ever, but I do think it may be a wee bit curious and unusual.

It holds my main miggy and is my most used Amiga. It measures Width=26cm, Height=44cm, Depth=25.5cm

A1200 Blizzard060/PPC603 60Mhz/240Mhz / 256Mb RAM / 2 x 500GB HDs / 2 x DVD Burners / FASTATA MKIII / Cocolino Wireless Mouse / Custom built Amplifier

Now... who else out their has a curious or unusual Amiga case that they would like to share some pics of...

(or am I just curious & unusual !!!) :biglaugh:

Cheers :drink:

Easily that would be the G1200 Sir. Seen here:

Wood. It's really nice. But doesn't look very woody you know, with knots and grains. But the controls/knobs are very tempting on the front.

Now that is neat... :cool:

Wood is Good, but my first attempt began to warp with all the heat, so I had to use MDF instead...

Ahh, it came together great. What about those controls, are they for sound? Mixer?

[Franko]

It's a little amplifier that I built myself, the controls are, from left to right. Bass, Treble, Volume and a Fader/Mixer between the Amiga Audio and one of the dvd burners for listening to CD's.

Jealous! Very cool.

G1200 has a little Space 1999 in it, inspiration:  :lol:

I was going to build it from aluminum at first but in a tower form but it was a bit too expensive, now if I could just have that shiny beast you've got there I would be very happy indeed...

(ps: how do you get the pic to appear instead of an attachment, i think the pic was too big or something !!!)

Oh, how I wish I had build this, but alas I am not that talented....

[Franko]

I think Amigakit has some 19" rack-mounted A1200s (and possibly other models too).

Is Motorollin' still around? He built a minimig(?) case out of lego iirc.

I used to have an A1200 mounted in a big Compaq desktop case (similar to G1200), but I created a much crappier aperture for the PCMCIA interface. Retired it when I got my first Power Tower.

Seem to remember someone mounting an Amiga inside a pizza box at some point also.

Hi Franko,

That's a very neat solution!  I love my Elbox cases for my A4000 and A1200s, but I still have wires flowing everywhere.

[Darrin]

I think that this custom C64 case is worth a mention:


Then there's the case The Daddy made for the Minimig:


Then there's my Minimig Case:

Neat stuff Darrin, but you've got the answer to all your problems sitting right there on your desk...

That little TARDIS would be able to hold everything....
