Amiga 4000t case?
Not sure if I should ask in this category, hopefully it's the right one! I was just curious if anyone ever made/thought about making a case for ATX boards that looked like the C= 4000T? Since honestly I think it looks pretty stylish and it's just too bad it never got a wide release! Thanks for your answers!

Hmmm. I'm not that big a fan of the 4000T cases vs the 3000T, it was really quite a generic tower case with a door on.
My personal order of preference would be A1000 A3000 A3000T A2000 A4000 A4000T I'd love a new A1000 style case personally. But everyone is different so who am I to tell you which you should prefer! I think your best bet would be to pick a more more common case and make a new front for it. Pick a good quality one and it wouldn't be *that* expensive to make a new front, particularly with the length of time a good case will last. My PC full tower is I think 15 years old and on it's 4th PSU & 3rd motherboard (and the current one is 7 years old). It was bloody expensive when new but outside of getting something smaller (I probably don't need space for 12x 3.5" and 7x5.25") I can't see myself getting rid until the next generation of PC motherboard no longer fits! The issue is that full towers have rather fallen out of favour and these days everything is to the current trend of black with windows in, a quick search brings up nothing particularly suitable that isn't long obsolete and hard to get hold of. |

You're not wrong yeah, honestly? An a1000 case could be nice, but since my computers always are under my desk personally they'd be wasted on me hah. I know that someone had made a new case for Amigas/PCs that looked like Amiga 2000s I think? He succeeded too maybe you'd like these, he still has some in stock I think! https://checkmate1500plus.com/ |

Is it just me or does the original A4000T case collect scratches for fun? The paint job on those is really bad whereas other amigas carry the knocks pretty well.

I can't say I've seen enough A4000T to know! But I'm surprised they'd be scratching easy considering how much of a tank they look |
