Amiga 4000 desktop case

videofx · 27 July 2021, 20:29

I just got a 4000 desktop case.

It has no hole for the HD, Power or Lock LED cables.

Anyone know how Commodore routed the cables to the motherboard without the hole? My other case has a square hole in the center of the case. This one has no such hole as you can see in the photo.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

That's interesting. I know Commodore had PC cases that looked just like the A4000 case. Maybe it's one of those?

I guess if it's otherwise 100% compatible to the A4000 case, then you could just drill a hole...

They were probably routed via the horizontal support notch.

Mine has no hole also, the cable is routed around the Horizontal support notch.
