Which Amiga chassi do you find most attractive?

Which Amiga chassi do you find most attractive?

Nowadays it's possible to put high end electronics in low end chassi or low end electronics in high end chassi. And some are not originals at all ;)

A3000D without a doubt. A1200 is my second favourite.

I love my black Minimig case made by Loriano if that counts as an Amiga chassis.  I like the A1200 but I don't think I'd want to go back to using one.

When the A3000T came out I loved it. I still like it the most for the retro of the Amiga chassis, but I still think the last A4000T model with the glass front looks the best. I owned an A3000T once but the mobo was broken and I could never get it to work so I sold it. I have several A1200s and even a towerized PPC A1200. I've owned A500s and an A3000D as well and I also have an A4000D.

The A3000T and A4000T were always the most sexy to me.

I like the power tower 4000D conversion box.

Looks weren't the greatest , but the case gave me room and cooling!

A1000 without doubt. (And I have 4000D, 3000D, 2000, and have used 500s and 1200s.)

The A1000 is my all time favorite plus I just love the keyboard.  Next would be the A4000D a purposeful design and a rock solid peroformer(at least mine are).  I was never really a fan of the A3000, just sayin.  I know there are some that think the A3000 was/is the best Amiga built.

Not a fan of the A3000 computer or the A3000 chassi?

Not to nitpick, but just so we're all talking the same language here:

...the word "chassis" has an "s" on the end and actually means the internal skeleton of a machine, not the case.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chassis

So is the question about the better internals, or the better case?

Hands down for me A1200 or maybe A600. Do you know how many people are amazed the whole computer "is in the keyboard" lol

A3000T looks like a pc server case.

a4000T is pretty damn sweet, that smoked black plastic front is serious biz!

A4000D looks like a pc clone

A3000D looks like a pc clone and is a NIGHTMARE to upgrade or work on

A2000 makes a good boat anchor!

A500 is always cool :)
