Incredible Stephen, hats off to you. Colour me mightily impressed especially with that 500+, my first amiga, incredible to see that 27 year old machine rocking it so well. 👌👍😀
Top work Steve! Your dedication to this project truly delivered! I can easily see lots of people backing up such a beautiful and versatile design and 'm certain the kickstarter will be a great success!
I hope i can grab one in time. I want to get back into the Amiga. I sold mine for an N64 back in the day. What a regretful day that was in retrospect. I just got a pristine Breadbin with the original Mouse wich i could not pass up.
Back in the day when I did have Amiga500, integrated keyboard, was real pain, because every time pulled the computer, it stress the cables on the back, now days I don't have the Amiga 500 anymore, and they come expensive items.
That is a really great looking setup. I already backed the A1200net project for the replacement A500 cases to get one in black for my Vampirized 500 and an extra standard color for my spare system. Will probably have to back this too since now I am thinking it would be great for a new Manjaro Linux box to do emulation on. Where did you get the black Amiga keys? Custom ordered?
It is a lot of money though. Nearly £400 if you need to buy the power board, front bezels, PSU, etc. Am assuming all that doesn't come as standard with the case?
I really like the keyboard tray but I think that you should make it even wider. There are many tenkeyless boards that have the spacing between right Ctrl and left cursor key be 1/2 key units where as it looks as if this one has the spacing be only 1/4 unit. I have been playing with a design of a mechanical Amiga keyboard with the full Amiga layout, only tenkeyless (as an option) and that one be 3/4 key units wider than that keyboard - and that's just the keys, not including the borders, of which that keyboard there has almost none.
This is so fucking cool. I had planned to put an A1200 in my case, but didn't realise you had a Zorro board adapter! How many Zorro slots are on there? Might go for an A500+, Picasso II, and Ariadne card if possible. Brilliant work!
Sadly only 1x86 pin and 1x100 pin slots. However if you put in a vampire with 2.0 core you get super fast CPU, super fast graphics, you can add a network adaptor and still have a slot free.
This is a complicated one on the DVD drive that I working on, after all it is a case and as such the PC has no issues but the Amiga does not support all modern parts. But you can fit a scsi controller and drive, an IDE controller and drive, use the Vampire with IDE. But this is SATA right, so I am experimenting with Sata2Ide adaptors. On the HDMI output that is just a back user port hole, as with ethernet and keyboard etc.
Awesome!!!! Light at the end of the tunnel!
Well done Stephen. Great chat on the Retro Hour today also! Can't wait to see the Kickstarter go live
Great to see the A500+ board is sitt perfectly in the A1500 case.😎👍
I like that you added ventilation holes on the bottom for air intake to the PSU and a possible radiator.
Very nice!
Fantastic job Stephen!
That's rather sharp looking sir.
Looks fantastic.

Wonderful. Can't await the final product!

Well done Stephen. Super exciting to see this come to fruition. I might have to kick the kids out to get a computer room setup again 😉
Hopefully they are not Toddlers :-)
Beautiful, now I just need apollo to finish their V4 stand-alone.
Great job
Good idea with CF on the front!
That was a 15 sec boot. Runs Amiga graphic really well.
That's looking good. Well done on this and the journey here !
Nice job.
Love it. Great work.
Amazing work really Love THE case

Awesome work. Great job, sir :)
wonderful work :D
Keep me posted Stephen...great work though...perhaps it will be time to rent a Porche real soon.
Very nice amiga :) can you show as more ?
DOC.. best demo xD

Was just thinking that if you put an Amiga 600 board in is there extension wires for the mouse and joystick ports available?
I'd like one in original A3000 colour with my CD32 board inside 😊
Riot Retro Gaming sorry no cd32
Oh, really? All that space for expansions inside too! :'(

The machine would be to wide then, best just forgo the risers if you want a bigger keyboard, sorry
nice, pretty tidy in there, one thing. how do you plan on getting the hdmi out of it ?
Rear utility panel option will have HDMI, USB and Ethernet sockets

I'll maybe go for that. Is there any benefit to AGA if you have a Vampire v2?
For some games, or dpaint etc.
Yeah I don't play games any more. Purely OctaMED Soundstudio these days.
Hi there, great video. May i ask where you sourced your clicky keyboard? Many thanks.
HeartBeat amazon
I want to build my ATX motherboard in this case, and put my keyboard under my computer :-). Will regular ATX boards work?
Sadly no. Only mini ITX and micro ATX as in the Kickstarter docs and web site.
I couldn't make out what the Zorro card does?
For fitting Amiga 2000/3000/4000 Zorro Cards
I got what the Zorro slot is for. I just couldn't make out what the card you put in was called, or what it was for.
It's an Ariadne network card - amiga.resource.cx/exp/ariadne
How are you connecting the DVD drive? Also, what about an HDMI back plate?
This is a complicated one on the DVD drive that I working on, after all it is a case and as such the PC has no issues but the Amiga does not support all modern parts. But you can fit a scsi controller and drive, an IDE controller and drive, use the Vampire with IDE. But this is SATA right, so I am experimenting with Sata2Ide adaptors.

Whats the os launch nog up on 0:34? Looks great!
Paul The Tall not sure what you mean
