Where to buy a case?

[x56h34]

@kgrach:

Your cases look very attractive and I must admit that I would really like to have one of those, however why such a high price? It's about equal to what Elbox is offering. I'd assume if you want to compete with them, you'd lower your price a bit. I'm not convinced to shift from the Elbox standard(s) for an equal price. It's gotta be lower.

What you are offering here is the SAME thing as Elbox, but slightly better looking, for the same price.

My 2 cents, anyways.

Thats kinda like saying a Porche cost more than a Yugo.
Elbox standards on thier cases are not that high. Not to fault elbox they did a good job making a simple inexpensive case.
I can make more money selling an Elbox case than my own. Our cases cost more because they cost allot more to make.

If I took a cheap PC case cut a simple strip out the back for the Amiga ports then you could say I am offering the same thing.

These backplates are completely custom. These are SSI version cases not available retail can only be purchased by the container full (270 pieces). The ports on our cases are labled when I say labled I mean engraved and enamel filled. I could save ~$20 on the manufacturing costs alone by cutting this out. I am not into making cheap cases but high quality custom cases

I see where you're comming from. Would you be able to produce a cheaper alternative, which would not be as good looking as the cases that you presently have, but still as functional when it comes to G-rex/Mediator fitting? There are a lot of $30 cases which would do the trick.

Sweet Cases! :-)

Thanks MikeyMike, that was the kind if info I was looking for.

Those A4000 cases do look nice, however I was hoping to spend quite a bit less than 100 GBP ~ 200 USD, and do the work myself [well, I have a friend who works at a design company (building parts for F1 cars, Airliners etc) and he can cut me a back plate very accurately by machine].

Good move! Stick by your guns!!Those of us that payed WAY too much money for our Amigas when they were new know the value of an A4000 versus a Packard Bell '486!!

So... Will they [the A4000 cases] be priced around the A1200 case prices???

[MaDDuck]

This is not a *bump*, BTW

That's next week!!!

[kgrach]

Yes I move way too slowly. Updates on the web site will be on the other portions of the site not on the Amiga.
Projects for the agencies have come up and they take precedence because of bread and butter issues.

kgrach

we also seem to be under some kind of assualt.
several different virus email messages in one day from different sources.  not good

Sounds good! I'm 'under-employed' at the moment and it would be easier to swing a new case in the VERY near future.
I have your site n my bookmark bar (OSX running Safari, I REFUSE to to windows!)

Sorry to hear about the viri, that will slow you down!! BTW at last count there are 0 viri out under Mac Osx 10.2.3! Its like a cross between Amiga and Linux.
Best of luck, man!
BTW, are you in the US/Canada region?

Your A1200T cases look awsome, gotta say. but the back panel looks a little crooked for me...

http://www.revanchellc.com/cases/dreamy.html

And will a PPC 603e+ with B-vision fit in there ok?
 

[MaDDuck]

Actually Goose- the picture doesn't seem centered! The case looks fine.
Yellow??

[TheGoose]

no,look at the back panel shot, it's clearly slanted.
From top to bottom, looks like he had to do it that way
for some reason.

And yea, piss yellow!

[kgrach]

No problem with a Bvision and a 603e+
all you will need is my ATX to A1200 adapter that will allow you to control the ATX PSU from a straight A1200.
IE a non Mediator or GREX equiped A1200.

also you might want to have a (9 pin)VGA cutout on the back panel added. No charge for upto two additional cutouts.
we could lable it VGA out or BVision or whatever

The backpanel is straight the picture is distorted.
I crushed my olympus digital camera the week before those pictures. So I took them with my sony camcorder which in the widest view has a slight fisheye effect. I am allot of things but as everybody tells me I am no photographer.
In the future I will have somebody that knows what they are doing take the photos. in otherwords anybody but me.

[kgrach]

Oh I also have matching yellow keyboards and mice.
I don't have matching monitors only Black,Green,Silver, oh and of course Biege/White.

[MaDDuck]

Awe c'mon....
All of the other pictures turned out great!


I kinda figured it was just distorted!!
