For Sale Custom made case for Amiga 4000 - pre order

[arymanx]

Some of you may know me from my Photo Booth posts with my cases for various Amigas. From time to time people have asked me about the possibility of ordering one case or another. Unfortunately, producing one case at time is very expensive (due to the cost of setting the appropriate machines). Recently I organized a group order of 5 units via a Discord group. Due to limited time, I can not produce more than 5-10 pcs per batch. I can post worldwide. I have already posted a few cases to Australia and USA successfully. Cost of postage to Australia is around 200-220GBP, USA around 110GBP plus 25GBP packaging (I make "wooden" boxes for shipping).
Cost per case is 350GBP if I am able to pay the same as the previous batch. A pre-payment of 150GBP is required before I order laser cutting. Pre-payment is not refundable once a laser cut order is placed.
Cases are made from mild steel and powder coated RAL9005 smooth ripple/textured (black).
You will get an empty case with the required screws, brackets, and some 3d printed items/brackets as seen on pictures. Two DB9 extension cables and two blue FDD power splitter boards are included. Fans, PSU and other cables are NOT INCLUDED. If unsure please ask.

I can vouch for quality of build and quality of shipping precaution from Arymanx: your machine will arrive safe, wherever you live!

Interested in one.
There are some cutouts at the back. It looks like one is for VGA. What are the others intended for?

Hi arymanx,

really nice case! Are the fan holders also included? (or if not, are the 3D-files available to print the parts?)

Last question: RAL9005 smooth (black) is to only color option or would another color be possible (e.g. the brighter color as of your A2000 case)

Best regards

Yes, 3d printed fan holder for 92mm fan is included, but I can share stl file if you want to print it in different colour.
Possibly could be powder coated RAL7035 smooth or RAL7035 matt at additional cost. You have A4k SFX bracket from me, which was powder coated RAL7035 textured, but it is not available anymore.

Hi,

thanks for you quick response.

I had a closer look to the pictures and came to the conclusion: "black is beautiful" ;-)
So I will go for the black one and would be very happy if I could get the files for the 3D-parts.

Thanks and best reagards

I can attest to the case arriving safely to the USA. Mine arrived packaged in an outside cardboard box, with a wooden case inside containing the actual case.

This is cool! Two questions that might be silly/obvious:

• It looks like LEDs for power and disk activity aren't included, but I think I see holes for them. Where would those be sourced, and how would they be fastened?
• How does one get to the system board beneath the 3.5" bays without removing the board? In the stock case, that whole bay slides out.

2 LEDs (without wires) and 2 plastic bezels are included.

You will have to undo 4 screws on the front, it may be difficult to see on the black case.
Please see attached renders.

Hi, nice looking case!

Im wondering how this case dimensions compare to a original 4000D case?

Im pondering a home for a A4000 aluminum front bezel for some time now if that would work.

Hi arymanx, i am declaring interest.

It is not compatible with original panel. 410mm wide, 399mm deep, 136mm high (plus about 5-6mm feet)

Hi there.

Nice project.
Is there a possibility to have a matching keyboard case (to rehouse a genuine Amiga keyboad)?

Unfortunately I can't help you with keyboard case. I think Checkmate offers black keyboard cases but most likely in different shade.

This is going to sound a weird question, but is the front drive bay compatible with an original A4000D case, and if so, is it possible to purchase one separately?
