Default Unified Amiga design again...

What do you think about a standardized Amiga-design for the new machines? Maybe it can give the feelings of the "ancient times". I mean, if I see an original Amiga (A1K2, A4K etc.) I know what is it, but now there isn't a standard case for the A1 or A1Lite. What about a survey or simply a petition?

Apart from the a1000 case, i think the others are old looking and pretty outdated...

something like the walker?

Why not? :-D

But serious... A tower with a well designed front side with the Amiga logo (for example) can be enough, but there's nothing planned AFAIK :-(

What I plan to do is get myself a mini-atx motherboard (AmigaOne Lite) and put it in a mini-atx desktop case so it would give it sort of an A3000/A4000 feel. Somewhere on it I will also paste an Amiga sticker, and that's about it. :-)

I'll see if a company like Elbox comes out with a must have tower case design for AmigaOne as they did for the classic models, but probably not, as this time Amiga comes in a standard motherboard form, unlike the classic models, so people would not be somewhat forced anymore to accept those outrageous prices for simple tower conversions.

Id rather a tower than the "classic" look though.. easier to stick it somewhere and forget about it :-)

I do see the use of case lighting, however! I have this fan
in the centre of the case-side surrounded by four transparent sections.

Be great, however, if dealers were to offer for sale various Amiga Identity
Logos.
