Thanks for putting together such a great video about my little case project. I loved the "Self Proclaimed" comment and have to admit when I aproved the design from Paul it did not click with me, very funny though. I will look into adding some tips based on the video for the manual. For the people out there, I slide the case over the edge of desk to remove the tray screws and when you push the tray back into the corner it locates the screws. On the Blizzard 1230 mk4, mine fits but has to be connected to motherboard first then the whole lot screwed in. Thanks again Clint. PS I will comment on the lid, this was a dificult design decision. The reason is I wanted the lid to fold round the case so you did not see a cut edge. Add to this the rear panels fixing method meant a simple slide on lid was impossible if it was to be aesthetically pleasing. Once you know how to slide on and off it is liveable, but the cut edge would not have been.

Heys, great to see an Amiga video on your channel :) Putting Amigas into cases is no new thing. There was a batch of re-hashed PC cases with adapters back in the late 90s, which not only for asthetic reasons, but also to increase upgrade options. Such as the Power PC with a Bvision video card for the A1200, would never have fit in the original keyboard case. The power supply woulndn't have run it either. Back then 3.5" drives were much cheaper than 2.5" drives, so it gave the option to use them in a desktop/tower case as well a CDROMS. This case looks so slick tho. Much better than the bodge jobs we were doing back then. But i think its tightness may restrict some of the above upgrades we got cases for in the past. Awesome video again!

Amiga was very popular in Europe, because it had the best graphics and sound you could get out of the box and because of crazy cracking scene that pirated every game that came out. The funny stuff about Amiga is that most of people i knew rarely had any original games. We just had boxes full of floppies of cracked games and were copying them with X-Copy from each other. My cousin was like 6 years old and knew how to copy a game which was actually pretty easy on the Amiga. I remember that sometimes you could fix a game with faulty disk by just copying it to another one. X-Copy was a very good tool.

I like watching these case-modded Amiga videos, but would never do it for my own A600's. My nostalgia is very much linked with the plastic case, so no-go for my taste.

"Odd design choices" is a bit generous. All that modularity seems almost like an afterthought. There really looks like a couple of specific builds they had in mind when designing this case and everything was secondary and doesn't fit or barely fits or has to be hacked in. The price tag is a bit high if you ask me considering these problems unless you're building whatever specific systems the designers had in mind. Still, there's a lot of jank with this kit. Hopefully they can iron it all out in a future revision.

It may be because of the Hz on the monitor you were using, but the way it was filmed looked absolutely excellent. It didn't even click until the very end with the LCD.

Beautiful work, always lovely to see an A1200 getting some love.

1. The Packard Bell case takes me back as the first PC I owned (not the first I used regularly) was a PB with what looks like that exact case! 2. I love that new Checkmate A1500 case. It's a shame I don't have the money to build a system using it cause I'd get one in a heartbeat if I could. I think the price is reasonable especially if you consider all the custom extras you get with it in order to make it usable as an Amiga or a PC. I loved seeing RetroManCave's videos on it so I'm very glad LGR has covered it too! I'd LOVE to build a new PC with a beige or black desktop style case, but there are so few choices out there that aren't just a regular chunky mid-tower on it's side or aren't ridiculously expensive.

Great video, I'm glad you discussed the cases few imperfections, most people you ask will say it's perfect, it's not, it does definitely require a "2.0 model" to sort out a few things. Like you said, I think it's more geared for a A500 than a A1200. It's a great case overall though, thanks for the honest review!
