Where to buy a case?

[MaDDuck]

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


I kinda figured it was just distorted!!

[MaDDuck]

ALSO------
I noticed a scanmagic on the A1200 MLB in your photos. I like the option you offer to add up to two cutouts, it'll take that SVGA plug nicely...

BUT-
Will there be adequit room on the interior of your A4000 designed case to string a scanmagic inside? I noticed the A4000 ones seem MUCH bigger...

[TheGoose]

Ok, cool. I'm stupid excited! I had an Infinitiv? tower
long time ago, piece of plastic crap. Only thing good was
the goodies for towering (power, keyboard, ide adaptor)

I later just made my own out of a huge old AT case, but that
looks like hell and that thing is a TANK! I will put the cover on my head to aviod the govenment rays, ya know.

Tell me more about the ATX psu & amiga.

And does anyone make a PC keyboard adapter that will do
multiple keystokes properly? That alone is killing my
Amiga use / enthusiasm.

Yes the A4000 cases are much larger than the A1200 cases.

The A1200 models  we currently sell are only 17 inches high but have plenty of room.
you could easily put both the scandoubler, a bvision, a mediator SX and our video switch in our current A1200 cases no problems.
I know people who have.

Since you have both the Bvision and a scan magic you might be interested in one of my Video switchers. It is a completely internal electronics switcher. with 350Mhz of bandwidth assures you no distortion or ringing of your video. All you do to switch video modes is a simple software command or a lighted push button on the case to switch the video. Yes I know it is not listed on the site. I have several thousand items that have to be put up there.
will post soon.

The only A1200 setup that needs a larger case is the ZIV users because the zorro slot standard requires almost 14 inches from back to front for the cards that will get blocked by the drive bays on our current A1200 cases.

The ZIV will be acomodated by our newer A4000/A3000 cases

The Video switch is $80 US

Yea it is called the RAKA we have been making it for dealers for about 8 years now.

The A1200 Cases includes one. it is also offered seperately for all model Amigas.

The keyboard adapter is an old design I made about ten years ago for myself becuase the existing A1200 keyboard MPU IMHO sucked big time and had a rollover problem ("the" comes out "hte" if typed real fast). That is why it clips on the VIA not fitted on the keyboard CPU or the Keyboard membrain slot.
It bypasses the slightly buggy A1200 keyboard MPU. I think later A1200 had this fixed not sure.

It offers 100% compatibility with 100% of all windows Keyboards. The other ones can't say that. You can press as many keys as you want as all are sent. The multimedia keys are sent as two button Amiga combos. example sleep key= Right Amiga + Q. lots of neat keyboard short cuts are built in. F11 & F12= copy and paste.

It also is available in US and European models. So us people in the USA have ALL the keys mapped correctly. US & European Windows keyboards are mapped slightly different.

The A1200 version also has a header so you can plug in the reset button from the case and use it to also reset your A1200.

Amazing....
Is there nothing you haven't thought of???
At the time I have no mediator, graphics card, etc...

I just want to take it one step at a time (like the drunks do!) and start with a top-notch tower to put my Emplant, scanmagic, and 4000MLB in.
Next will be a PCI graphics card,
AND then PPC...

The monitor switch sounds very clever, I'd probibly stick with the HW switch versus the SW one as I'd be running Linux on it too and I don't know how the SW would react to that!!

That is impressive!
NOW if only you could replace the keycaps to make it look like an Amiga keyboard, it would be perfect!  :-D  8-)

@kgrach:

I just wanted to say I think what you are doing is very cool. Very useful hardware that WORKS flawlessly (from what I've heard, I don't have any) is something the amiga world could do with.

I especially like your keyboard adaptor, but as long as this beautiful a4k keyboard lives on, you'll still have one less customer

BTW: You people use the abbreviation 'MLB'...for motherboard? How do you reckon that?

Sincerely,

I have an A4000 D that has no case (thanks to the carelessness of the previous owner) so am looking for one.  Have the front faceplate but no top.

Sorry, it's just that MOBO sounds too much like MOFU!
It's an initialism for Main Logic Board, it's used on this side of the pond more than MOBO is!

@Madduck:

Ahh! Main logic board, I see. You learn something new every day

No problems. It wasn't your fault! Those cases look nice and the popularity of this thread shows that there sure is the market for them. Good luck with that.

I guess I was frustrated at the fact that there were so many replies but only one answer to my question! lol.

[lordnicon]

does any one know where i can get a case for mine  :-D a amiga 2000
