The AMIGA CASE will be available in black and white.

It comes with the top cover of your choice. One for usage with the classic Amiga 1200 keyboard,
one for usage with an external keyboard.

Prices / Perks
Available from € 59,- for one AMIGA CASE (limited early bird edition)
Available from € 55,- per AMIGA CASE if you contribute for two cases. (Available during the whole campaign).


For people who are considering on buying an Amiga Reloaded motherboard in 2016 from Individual Computers, you will be in for a nice surprise !

Crowdfunding will be done through
Indiegogo.com. One of the biggest crowdfunding websites in the world. Preferable above Kickstarter due to the lower fees and PayPal support.
The launch of the campaign on Indiegogo is planned on 3 December 2015.


The video and pictures will give you a good idea of what to expect from the campaign and the concept of the AMIGA CASE. Of course the actual campaign itself will give you more inside information.

Please use this thread for all your questions and comments. I really appreciate your feedback, it is very valuable for this project. Please do not PM me unless this absolutely necessary, thank you.

Return to this thread frequently for updates.


Kind Regards,

update 26-11-2015 : added 3 extra pictures

Update 29-11-2015

To date, there is no reason to postpone the launch on December 3. I am happy to share this news with you.

To be able to contribute to my campaign on Indiegogo it is necessary to have a PayPal account.

On Indiegogo most campaigns have flexible goals. The campaign for the AMIGA CASE will have a fixed goal because a minimum amount of money has to be raised for making the molds and for completing the project. For more information about flexible and fixed goals, I refer to Indiegogo .

Update 03-12-15

Dear Amigans,

I have to postpone the crowd funding campaign due to unforeseen matters, hammering down the final details.
I know some of you will be disappointed, but I want to do it the first time right.
I will come with a next update as soon as possible.
Update 26-03-2016

Update 26-03-2016

I have great news:
The AMIGA CASE project is now officially licensed by Amiga Inc.
The original Amiga logo will be on the AMIGA CASE !!!

Video is available again. Pictures not yet up to date.
Next week I'll come with a more detailed update.


Update 01-04-2016

Dear Amigans,

As promised a more detailed update.
Launch is nearby. If everything goes as planned the project will be launched in the week of 11-18 April 2016.
Awaiting confirmation from my preferred manufacturer concerning the timeline of the project.
Secondly I am trying to get one more official supporter to join the project. Launch of the project is not depending on that.

As stated earlier, AMIGA CASE is now officially licensed by Amiga Inc. so I added some pictures of the AMIGA CASE with the original Amiga Logo.
Prices of the AMIGA CASE are unchanged.

QUESTION: Mini ATX compatibility sounds great - have you guys tried to hook up a FPGA Arcade Replay Board in this case?

Question: Is this case going to be 3D printed or are you going to use mouldings?

Interesting, but using the Amiga logo in both promo material and the case without a licence might prove difficult.

Also curious if these will be 3D Printed or from new moulds like the other crowdfunded campaign.
 
Hi nicksak,

The AMIGA CASE will have Thin Mini-ITX support.

i may be interested in the black one.
Are you going to supply a black kb in the future which matches the case?

p.s. I'm quite sure that the previous campaign from the Kickstarter by Philippe wasn't allowed in the sale thread for some reason, so there might be a chance for the thread to get deleted soon as well.

Are you going to use silicon moulds or ones made from metal?

Hi Zerec,

For the AMIGA CASE two moulds with insert will be made.
3D printing is not an option.

Hello,

out of curiosity do you have already the case designed and ready for mold production (so solidworks file or other format) ? Is there any real prototype ?

cheers!
 
Hi Gouky,

Product development, 3D modelling and visualization of the AMIGA CASE is done. Technical elaboration of the 3D models (for making the moulds) will be part of the campaign to make a prototype of the AMIGA CASE.
