English Amiga Board - View Single Post - checking interest on new Amiga 600 case fabrication

I think, and probably get kicked up the arse for it, a better bet is to focus new materials on newer technology. As more and more boards fail, cases will trickle into the marketplace. But something like a replica A600/1200 case and modern keyboard for FPGA purposes would be fantastic. It would mean people can get functioning systems built on newer (and readily available) tech that's not prone to failure, while still hanging onto the nostalgia.

I'm currently printing this out for my MiSTer build, but even though it LOOKS kinda similar, it won't be the same...

I would personally LOVE a case that you could insert a 60% keyboard in, or better yet an A1200 style case that you could put a proper full sized one in.
