If your going to scalp people for a lot of money, at least put some effort into the case. Dare I say, a custom case perhaps?

Oh come on, why is everyone so negative? Sure, its not the best looking case, but it is not *that* bad! Just be thankful we are getting new hardware and software, its 2011 and still people are developing stuff. The least we can do is show some respect. If all you want is a pretty case, go to Apple!

Just a SAM in a dress then?


And that "dress" looks like a plastic suitcase from 1973 or something. Does it come in brown as well? :lol:

Indeed, and then you also get 2x the performance at 1/5 of the cost... ;)

Why is this thread being pruned?

I said "That case is ugly as sin" and now it's removed.

I don't know why I am surprised anymore by the cost of the NG amigas, but I still am.
 
This is a blatant rip off.

That's the price of using custom hardware - and why I beleive Aros is the only way forward for the Amiga.

At least we have seen a new Amiga this year. It's more than what CUSA have delivered. If it was cheaper I would probably consider it. I do feel somewhat happy inside that this is been done.

IT should be white, that's all I'm saying. ;)

It's actually harder to find white cases nowadays, than black and silver.

There is plenty of possible Amiga NG PPC hardware available, it is possible to buy PPC mobo less than 60€

Problem of these are that, life cycle is too short and to get one need to buy thousands of them.

But still, it would be smarter to buy 10 000 chinesse mobos that build one self

Maybe C-USA should buy some of these cases, put a cheap PC motherboard in them, and call them the "Commodore Amiga 500 NG" and sell them for $900........
