Personally my favorite from all of them..is the Amiga 500 case. If there is way I can put the Amiga 1200 mother + Apollo + HD + USB Sub + Amiga 1200 Keyboard + Disk drive into the A500 case I would do it in a heart beat.

I voted for A3000 (desktop) case. its a bit similar to 'Pizza box form factor' which I like very much. also A3000 are not very common here.

I do like the look of the A1000 case but I don't like the keyboard layout. I had mentally designed an A600 case in similar style (including keyboard slot underneath, which is neat). The A3000 bezel is quite neat too and I also like the black perspex on the A4000T so maybe that would feature, too. Maybe I will build it one day. But probably not, knowing me.

Otherwise the A1200 is the best looking wedge Amiga.

This guy managed to get an A1200 motherboard in an A600 case so anything is possible!

Poor A600 not even mentioned.. IT is one nice case if you consider the size. Notice no love for the A2000. Perhaps it would win the most practical Amiga chassi if there was such a vote!

A600 is a nice design, but one time I tried to play Damocles on one. FAIL.

The Amiga 3000 is a basic slimline PC case. Perhaps people like in so much is because it was full 32-bit and had an inbuilt flicker fixer, plus the SCSI.

I like all of them in one way or another. The compact A600 would be my fav. Especially if it had the power of the A1200 in it.

Back in the day, it was a nuisance not to have an external keyboard. Plus there was all that power and upgrade capabilities in the towers.

A600 is the most attractive, but it's not the most practical.

It's a shame they didn't design A1200 motherboard to fit in A600 case, the only thing that stops it fitting is the joystick port, and the mouse port was already on a detachable cable, would have been so easy to put both on detachable cables and put the screw holes in the same places. Oh well.

Also for some reason there is a slight difference in the keyboard ribbon.

All of the desktop case Amigas looked a bit like PCs... difficult not to, really, since all PCs were in that format at the time. And then towers. How to make a desktop or tower case not look like a PC? You can only make a nice one or an ugly one. PCs never came in wedge cases.

A2000 was quite an ugly one though, a big beige block of a thing.

Franko is more popular than the A2000s looks.
