X1000 looking good on paper?

[Golem!dk]

But whats more interesting: Are there more pictures from that event in Switzerland? Is this the machine of a beta tester, or was A-EON present?

They have a separate beta program for the cases?

The event was called AmigaZoom (I wasn't in attendance).

I believe A-Eon, ACube, and Hyperion was all represented by a Swiss dealer called Relec.

Here's a thread on Amigaworld that links to more pics:

Here's another (probably better) picture of the case:

When I was looking through the pictures of µAlchemie 2010 yesterday, I noticed that it looks like the "good on paper" mockup Piru posted an image of and the Relec box with the (sticker?) Boing Ball at the front are the same box.

It looks like Relec created it (much like cell phone mokups that are designed for shop windows) just as a dummy that could sit in the corner and remind of the upcoming new hardware. I imagine they turned on the neon and kept the box closed, so it may have had a somewhat ominous look, if you went past it in half darkness. And if you peeked through the airvents you might spy the words A-EON or Xena on the photographed Mobo.

Mystery solved?

Oh and here are two pictures from different perspectives that show that the mobo-picture is mounted into that same box during the french event:

I don't want a black Amiga, I want a white one with a nice red boing ball on it.

Did someone says 64-bit OS? When did M$ come out with their first one? Was it 2003? There's yet to be a 64-bit browser that has a working flash player. 64-bit OS is a joke, unless you run Linux or something.

This CPU draws what? 7-10 Watt? I'd like that in a slim case, not a monster case like the Fractal R2/R3 (think the R2 has been discontinued).

 Ahem.

I thought that you allready get your t-shirt?

Allways surprises me how long and how much piru wants to give negative publicity for anything wich is related to Amiga OS and hardware.

Are you saying that there is no X1000 board and x1000 is a hoax, or what is point of this?

[gertsy]

Can't believe people would modify a picture for their own purposes....

IT'S DARK BIG AND RECTANGULAR, SOOO AWESOMER!

Is this an X1000 too?

[tone007]

YOH I FOUND A WHOLE FLOCK OF X1000S

[psxphill]

I don't think there's anything underneath it. The picture appears to be at the bottom of the case and the regular mounting screws are well visible:

There is definately space between the picture and the back of the case.
The screws are holding the picture in place & you can clearly see cables going behind it.
 
However whether there is anything behind the picture apart from some cardboard is another matter.

He just posted a funny picture, that's pretty much it.

I can't see what the positive side of displaying this at a show would be for the X1000. Sounds like your beef should be with whoever it is that put the paper printout in the case, not Piru (who probably didn't even take the picture).

I think the paper motherboard photograph is a good commentary on the desperation felt by OS4 users in regards to hardware availability.  Very profound.  If the man in the photo stood up, you'd see the tears in his eyes.

Ahem.

That was released Sept 27 I think, remind me, when did Vista 64 bit come out? Just saying.

[tone007]

Luckily the old 32 bit apps run nicely on most 64 bit operating systems.  Even XP64 works well enough. If you've got tons of RAM, you can't get away with 32 bit.
