I visited that criminally convicted organization known as eBay, and saw this.

Gateway 2000 Amiga MCC Model Prototype And Shipping Case, Pure Unobtanium | eBay

If you are not aware of what this is, here's an excerpt from the Amiga Inc website in 1999. T he case will be wrapped in corrugated cardboard to protect the historic labels with the handles exposed.

I am sorry but that most Ugly Gateway Amiga 2000 I have seen so far and I dont think it would sell well.

There is a bright side to Commodore shutting it down in 1994 and time-locking things down, and this design is clearly it.

Spare a thought...someone got paid good money to design this.

I personally like it. It's a pity that it's only a model made of foam and wood. If it had electronics inside, I would bid for it myself. Only Commodore

@tadeo80 - is this not just a CDTV with a nice black matching 17" CRT on top of it with a removed swivel foot?

Would that be prettier setup than this too??

That would be pc. Very advanced at that time. But it actually looks a bit like CDTV
