OK...I know I said I was burnt out and it's taken me years and years (7?)...anyway.
After announcing this:
http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=35607&forum=33But I have received many emails of support (let me come up with a number wait.....running my random number generating software on my C64....result = 3000...no actually, 3001.

)
Yes "3001 people" have asked me to carry on as it seems stupid to have spent all that money and time on a project so complex and so dear to me (us?).
Anyway, it's nearly complete, it needs a couple of adjustments here and there but it's ready for production.
Keep your eyes peeled this week end.
A minimum number of orders will be needed of course. Delivery from the end of May/mid June.
Coming as an A500 shape kind of thing or Sinclair PC-200, or whatever. It's really
inspired by the computers of the '80s and '90s but to me it's the A500 (as it was my first machine and it's close to my heart).
Specs:
Allows the use of a
mini-itx or flex-atx boards, space for a
DVD-RW, space for a
3.5" drive (card reader really although a floppy disk drive fits but compromises space for other stuff) space for
2 to 3 SSDs or 2.5" HDDs.Sorry more I can't offer!

Tested with:
Gigabyte motherboard with 8 and 16GB DDR3 (I had to try it, the force was too strong for "only" 8GB) with USB3 and 2.0, Intel i3 2.5GHz cpu (none of that crappy, slow, AMD and Atom stuff), I have got this feeling an i5/i7 might work too (NOT TESTED though). The board I am using has onboard HD Intel 2000/3000 graphics, HDMI eSATA etc... but me being a pedantic type I have also made space for a
low profile graphics card expansion slot.What does this mean?
Running an
ATI Radeon HD 6570 2GB right now.

I am testing it win Win7 running from a 120GB SSD and for storage Western Digital 320GB HDD.
It's now on my desk running along my big tower box.
Keyboard is a nice one, a good compromise and generally available, it's not a cherry as I don't like them and those are expensive, so it makes sense to use "cheaper" stuff.
See it as a blank canvas, you get the kit (the case) and you make it what you want.
You can run
AROS, you can fit a
NATAMI, a
FPGAArcade, put funky stickers on etc...etc...
Also tested with a SAM440ep (the mini), SAM440 and 460 (flex) with OS4.
You can even put a cluster of raspberries in there

What does it look like? You'll see it this week end.
How big? Slightly thinner than the A500 (57.5 mm without rubber feet), same width and slightly shorter.
So a massive thanks to all, see you this week end.
