What don't you understand.  Arn't you the "TheDaddy" that was selling cases for the MiniMig?  Those cases while looking just fine as a home project, simply did not look professional.  So, I am calling you out on your claim that you could turn a real C64 into just as good of a case in short order.

The people on this forum are basing CUSA because they find the idea of new equipment that might actually sell outside of the existing user base to be a threat to their 'elite' status.  The very fact that you declare there to be a group of 'real Amigans' confirms this.

LOL! Now onto personal attacks...My cases didn't look professional, OH MY GOD! Thank you very much.

I am not here to discuss my designs, as I am still waiting to see one of yours.
Ask the hundreds of people who bought the Minimig case what they think, the continuous emails I am receiving asking to produce more.

The Minimig case is an original design, developed with engineering precision. It was meant to cover the needs of many who bought the Minimig board and didn't want it to get damaged. It wasn't meant to sell millions or take on Apple.

You are talking about a single person working in his garage, investing his own money and time VS a company with an alleged $35 million budget so I say go and get lost!

You are talking out of your arsehole. If you listen carefully...you can hear it.

The CUSA C64 is just a C64 case with some cut outs for a DVD and the card reader. It looks very 1980s and it's not very original.

I could knock something like the C64 case in a week, probably less but I wouldn't be happy with it because it looks like a C64...see if you can grasp the idea or originality.

@ Belia6

What a load of total cobblers, I don't consider because I am an Amiga user of 25 years that this somehow make me an elitist, it's dunderheeds like you who bandy such claptrap about that are the one who think they are elitist. Why don't you take you silly views and stick them up yer bahooky... what a total numptie... :lol:

@ Kesa
Where you been hiding, I was starting to think the floating turd had got you...

LOL! Run for president man, or prime minister...

[takemehomegrandma]

You are funny...let the X1000 alone, why do you always bring that into play! Let it be, they must have really hurt you these people in the past.

It's nothing about that, it's the double standards some people use that annoys me...

I say let them do what they want, there is space for everyone.

There is something we can agree on!

[Franko]

LOL! Run for president man, or prime minister...

Nah... imagine the number of assassination attempts I'd get, it's hard enough being a coffin dodger let alone dodging bullets...

(Although if I did I'd ban PC's and put an Amiga in every home...

[TheDaddy]

As english is not my first language I do use the grammar wrongly so sometimes my posts don't get through as well as I would like them to be, even so, it's not an excuse and I just want to clarify that I don't hate CUSA, as I said before, I even got contacted by CUSA to make a case for them or better include my design in their range, something I am still considering so how would I go on to hate them?

See they even considered someone like me who makes unprofessional looking designs like the Minimig case

Yeah...true...but at least it would be fun

Of course not.  Your here to complain about someone elses.  Being the only supplier of a product will help in getting people to ask for more, even if it is only a hobby level of quality.  I don't blame them.  Contrary to your claim, modifying an existing case to fit a board is a PITA.  So, if someone is selling something functional you go for it.

The Minimig case is an original design, developed with engineering precision. It was meant to cover the needs of many who bought the Minimig board and didn't want it to get damaged. It wasn't meant to sell millions or take on Apple.

'engineering precision'?  Sounds a little like claims of 'mil spec'.  Based on the photos you have posted, you have a very loose definition of 'engineering precision'.

You are talking about a single person working in his garage, investing his own money and time VS a company with an alleged $35 million budget so I say go and get lost!

Your cases look fine for a single person working in his garage.  They do not look like cases produced by a business.  They don't look professional.  They look like hobby cases.

I don't care what their budget is, the prototypes of the PC64 cases look very good.  They look professional.  They do not look like hobby projects which is what most people would get if they spent a great deal of time trying to fit a PC into an original C64 case.

You are talking out of your arsehole. If you listen carefully...you can hear it.

I hope you can find the irony in that statement based on the first sentence of your post.

The CUSA C64 is just a C64 case with some cut outs for a DVD and the card reader. It looks very 1980s and it's not very original.

It is not just a C64 case with some cutouts for a DVD and a card reader.  It is a reproduction.  It certainly takes more skill to produce a good reproduction than it takes to make a plastic box with a few holes cut out of it.

Of course it looks very 1980's and it's not very original.  That is the point of a 1980's reproduction.  If it didn't look 1980's and was original, it would have failed in it's goal.

I am not here to complain about anyone, you are trying really hard to make it look like that. And again you call my design "a hobby level of quality".

Again we are not here to discuss my design which is down to the customers to decide the quality of. You are just stirring shit and your arguments are failing. You, sir FAIL!

>>'engineering precision'? Sounds a little like claims of 'mil spec'. Based on the photos you have posted, you have a very loose definition of 'engineering precision'.

Are you for real? Check the definition or go back to school.

>>Your cases look fine for a single person working in his garage. They do not look like cases produced by a business.

Erm...did I ever say I was a business? Oh my god, do they still make people like you?

>>They don't look professional. They look like hobby cases.

You don't look professional either.

>>I don't care what their budget is, the prototypes of the PC64 cases look very good.

ROFL!

>>It is not just a C64 case with some cutouts for a DVD and a card reader. It is a reproduction. It certainly takes more skill to produce a good reproduction than it takes to make a plastic box with a few holes cut out of it.

Very funny, keep them coming. You know f*ck all about it and you are still talking.

>>Of course it looks very 1980's and it's not very original. That is the point of a 1980's reproduction. If it didn't look 1980's and was original, it would have failed in it's goal.

Suggestion: go back to school, get a diploma, then get a degree, then do some training then start designing stuff then we'll talk again.

>>They look professional. They do not look like hobby projects which is what most people would get if they spent a great deal of time trying to fit a PC into an original C64 case.

Oh my...never mind, waste of time talking to you, I suggest you follow Franko's suggestion to the letter

Waste of time.

I love these flame wars!   :laughing:

[TheDaddy]

What a cock!

Slagging off something he knows nothing about (based on the pictures you posted)...WTF?

Read the comments people have left, touch it, feel it, play with it, use it then vomit your personal opinion on it if you must.

Your crusade against the Minimig case makes you look pretty pathetic.

[Kesa]

Thankyou!

[Belial6]

Make what personal insults you want.  It won't fill the gaps in the cases, and it won't make the edges line up.

No, I am not going to buy one of your cases to to prove that they are hobby quality.  You have posted perfectly fine pictures showing the quality.

Please stop editing your posts AFTER someone has quoted one of them. I put up a witty reply which included a fantasticly brilliant photo but now it makes no sense at all

You started insulting my hard work and now you get upset because I call you a cock?!
How does this work?
Gaps in the cases and the edges don't line up? HA! Try harder. Pathetic.
You can't buy my cases you prick because they are all SOLD OUT!
Read again...SOLD OUT.

Sorry!

I'll come up with some other "insult" soon I have got plenty for people like him.
