| As many of you know I have been designing cases for niche/custom boards for some time (Minimig, 1541 Ultimate...):
EXTERNAL LINK
But in parallel I have also been working on a new case for the SAM/Natami/mini-itx boards, in my spare time.The idea started when towerising (is that a word?!) the A1200 was all the rage: my take on it... EXTERNAL LINK
then four-five years ago I started sketching a replacement case for the A1200 which was later converted to accept mini-itx board (this is when the SAM came out), which in turn....was converted again to accept the SAM Flex as well! I have invested a lot of time, effort and money into this and it is the biggest thing I have ever done...I have called it Loriano's Most Ambitious Project. Anyway since I have started running out of cash now that I am so close to finishing it I thought of buying some time by posting some snippets/clues now and then and let you guys have fun, I am not very good with riddles so you'll see just cropped pictures and words that will appear on my site: EXTERNAL LINK
Hopefully a fully working prototype will be ready in the next 2-3 weeks...it's all down to raising the last bit of money needed, so my laptop is going to end up on ebay soon. Have fun!

| Hi Loriano !
I don't understand the two last links ?
What's wrong on my display ? (tiny picture and strange text : "0, 2, -F, Full, PCI")

Nice try Richard! ;-)
Or if you are not trying it on then they are clues to the new case I have been designing for the SAM/Natami (mini-itx) motherboards, more clues tomorrow! :-)
