No, it doesn’t seem likely that this will be the enclosure for the new Amiga, since the new motherboard was designed in that gigantic/cumbersome/bloated/(insert_favourite_pejorative_here) form factor otherwise known as ATX...

“Wait a minute! A new Amiga?? Joking or what?” – you say. Well, apparently not, it seems something is being worked on. If you don’t like teaser sites, just add a /6.html to that url.

Anyway, back to the case: I’m sure a lot of folks hate it, but I just think “total retro coolness” by looking at it! Here’s what I’d change though:

• Lose the floppy disk drive? It is useless nowadays, although actually it  does add to the retro style of it.
• Have all needed USB, headphone and whatnot ports on the sides.
• Make thiner keys, no need for those huge blocks.
• White keys? hmm…no thanks, I remember my A1200 keyboard getting a somewhat disgusting look as soon as they started to turn gray with dirt

Anyway, I’m looking forward to see what they’ll come up with.

So, do you see yourself buying a new Amiga anytime soon?
