Default WTF - Amiga 1000x - hmmm.. Not not x1000, 1000x!

Seems like an okay design for a case, but its a horrible name for a computer considering we already have amigaone x1000.


I guess they are behind in spamming this forum with their stuff...

At least they have progressed beyond vinyl stickers I suppose, but still, an amiga this is not.

I can see what they were thinking... But they missed it for me..
(Not that I would buy one, too cheap, but still)

For it to be 1000 themed, it HAS to have a keyboard drawer.
I actually think it looks a bit more like a CDTV; very stereo/video equipment looking.
Except for the metal look.

I thought the 64X was OK. Too expensive for my tastes, but it looked a lot like the C64.

But since then, I haven't been impressed.

Case looks to be a Wesena E5 case, with the Commodore badge covering the Wesena logo.

http://www.wesena.co.uk/product.php/7/3/e5

Can be found for under a hundred bucks via a few sources.

better without the "amiga" logo randomly placed in the middle of the case

100 bucks isn't bad

Nice find.

I guess the "keyboard garage" they mention is 4 stick-on feet to raise the thing high enough to slide the keyboard under.

Scan their "partners" list for a local company that provides the "Amiga" etching. Using a simple stencil, it shouldn't take long.

I do like the aluminium case look though. It would be a nice addition to a Home Theatre setup, but I'd like a bigger one that could take more expansion cards, drives, etc.

Note the un-sold C64x units in the background... or petrhaps they've been returned for repairs. Still no signs of any actual "workers".

Ugly case. The Amiga engraving is positioned in a really strange way in my opinion. It seems paradoxical to me that the all aluminium case implies simplicity at the same time they insist on logo overload.

Ugly and poorly laid out. Fittingly so.

Probably because the logo is their only selling point. They want to make sure everyone sees the only thing they have worth buying.

I think they should just manufacture stickers and case badges. At least then people would be able to make their own "amigas" just like them! hahaha.

Hmmm... what's that written on it? I can barely make the letters out... S... U... E... space... M... E... yep. That's it. It has Sue Me written all over it.

Besides the obvious attempt to mislead and confuse people....

They still have yet to explain their legal right to use either the commodore name or the amiga name. Isn't that stuff still in legal hell?

I would think that if the rights to use either name are still being argued over in court then they can't just keep using them until the court cases are settled...

Wait, so this is yet another existing case rebranded?

Seriously, aren't there companies where you can have custom case jobs made for you?

Considering how they are aiming at selling tons of the damn things, according to the cheerleaders, surely getting 10.000 cases made would net you a decent discount, right?
