Custom Amiga tower cases
« on: February 04, 2004, 04:31:13 PM »
I have ordered a case from Revanche LLC - a group I heard about not long ago, they're in NY I think, who makes custom tower cases that seem aesthetically pleasing alternatives to ElBox's offerings.  They sell various other Amiga items as well.

I've ordered a "Noblesse" case, black, complete with window cutout, and some other accessories which are set to ship in the next few days.  Will let you know how it goes.

Have a look at some of them here.

Let me know how your order comes out - you ordered just a case right. For what model Amiga did you order the tower? A 1200 or 4000?

They say that they can make custom tower cases for any Amiga - I wonder if that also includes Amiga 2000s?

Hi,
I'm with you there. It would be nice to get my A2000HD off of my desktop.

Check out http://www.ahanix.com/. They're the company responsible for the unmodified Nobblesse case, marketed to the HTPC OEM market.

I wanted to get one of them cases before I got my Mirage for the A3000. He doesnt do them for the A3000 or the A2000 as far as I could tell though. They are outstanding looking cases though!! Please post some pictures of your system in it from all sides when its complete!!!!

I didn't know if there was really a need or demand for the A3000 and A2000  Amigas.

I have a big variety of cases for the A1200 haven't had time to post the pics. But those cases are the small midtower size 17 inches or so.

The Big box Amigas would require a Full size tower case becuase the full size Zorro slot spec is huge.
it can be done however .

If you fiqure out a good way to do big box cases in bulk, contact me. I would be interested in reselling. I have been evaluating options and none of them are cost effective:-(

My nomination for most original Amiga Tower conversion goes to GadgetMaster's 1200T ;-)

I'm pretty sure its unique amongst 1200 conversions :-)

@karlos:
You were looking for the original Amiga logo right? Here.

Couldn't find the thread were you were asking for it though :-).

@kgrach

It depends your definition of in line with PC cases. We'll take this to email. I will be contacting you in the next day or so. Maybe we can work something out. No sense in me trying to reinvent the wheel if you got it rolling already.

How about an Amiga Cube?

The Clear PowerCube Enclosure

Cube Case Mods

The only thing missing would be the (inner) metal enclosure.

What about a tower for the A4000 ??? What about making it possible for shipping to Europe without the power supply so we can add a european power supply ourselves so it reduces weight (cheaper shipping costs) ???

@ Red

Hi, thank you for considering this. In another thread I mentioned a fictitional case that
could house an A500 Mb, A600 Mb,A2000Mb and a A3000 Mb. Just pick one cool design and they will come.
With multi hole mounting, spacers, and cable kits, you could make it happen and make many happy.

Happy hunting,
Chris
