That is one slick looking case for the a1200! But... after seeing the install pics with (part of) the dragon in view, my attention was diverted the the dragon board - You can just make out a lattice micro on it :lol:

Looks like a very comfortable fit for the a1200 board and its expansions though, definately gonna get me one of these... I wonder how much shipping to Sydney, Australia will cost me :\

Great work yet again Elbox!

This is probably the nicest A1200 tower I've ever seen. Really nice job. Elbox keeps going on and on with these things, which is rather impressive given that most other companies are dead. Of course Elbox is probably surviving because they've other activities as well - but hey, it's the result that counts!

I agree. The tower is a noticeable step-up from their past towers (which were also pretty good, however this one is great).

I admit, this tower looks wonderful.

I'd get one, if I still had a 1200, that is. ^_~

A shame this stuff isn't available in New Zealand. Even finding a good A4000 setup is impossible.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think it would have been better with the actual Dragon being released?  :-D

I'm very encouraged by the ColdFire Dragon. I want to see some demos, some performance benchmarks and compatibility ratings.   I for one am not willing to give up the features found in the AGA chipset that you don't find even in most 24 bit cards.  If there was some way to marry the two-- even if it was the way the FireCracker card did, that would be a nice video "solution". OK, hack.

This is one beautiful and functional tower, I'd sure have loved to trash my Infinitiv and switch for that one. Too bad it's just too late and expensive.
