The case of the (new) Amiga...

[Matteus]

Not sure. I like the original A1000 but not this. It reminds me of a plastic stormtrooper. But i think it's a good idea basing the new case around the A1000. Except it should be made of cnc'd polished aluminum like the Apples are and not crappy white plastic.

Alu? Hm, my thought on that are rather divided. Haven't got much luv left for the modern Apple-Intel traitor designs, either. Overpriced PCs, mostly.

Oh i agree. Apple suck big time. But you have to admit they make products with excellent construction quality. I'm typing this post on an Apple BT keyboard and it really is nice to use. I love cnc'd aluminum! If not Apple then Sony with their PS3 Slim and VAIO laptops. Both of these companies make products with the highest construction quality. But Apple still suck. Give me Windows any day.

Bottom line. Just because it's made using cnc doesn't mean it's an Apple.    Combine the above Stormtrooper design with a cnc'd case and i would be happy with that

But while we are talking about new case designs what about this? Doesn't get much more classy than this

That case is so fZuking Kool, I love it!

This one is rather nice too (and it's what my PC mobo is going into if I can find one in the UK).

You missed the point buddy. Take a look at the other innovations on that case, access, security etc...  It doesn't just look nice, it is an innovation in it's own right, shouldn't that have an Amiga inside? Try to imagine it in shiny white with a boing ball.

Yeah, not bad. But these are even better! The top has a glass panel and all. Best in the business (and expensive too). The obvious comparison here is the CDTV.

Could always go with something radical.

I like computer cases to be uncluttered.

Glee! I'll start: x86 is boring and I don't really give a damn whether it was a better business choice, it was a less interesting choice. Bleah.

+1, nice case that one. Very clean.

When I was a kid, we used to program 65xx and 68xxx in mnemonics assembler for the fastest, smallest code. Today it's just bloated crap, for x86, everywhere you look. :furious:
