| shiny.... precious!!!!! I ... LOVE ... IT !!!!! So, you got a calendar on the wall stuck on something like July '88? :-D :-D I really like the on/off button placement. I HATE desktop tower computers. I like keyboard all-in-one, A2000 box and netbook like cases. I want this for my NatAmi FOR SURE!

| It looks great but why glossy white, it gets dirty rather quickly.

| Good work but I just don't like the A500 form factor because I always thought that it occupied just too much space between the keyboard and the monitor (I need that space for coffee cups, lunch, manuals a.s.o.). I'd prefer something in the A600 or A1200 form factor.

It would fit neatly on my keyboard sledge so. ;) it depends on the type of desk you have and or am working at it fit some better then others but this has always been that way.

| My constructive criticism would be not to move the pictures too fast in the first 2.36 minutes of the video. Otherwise, nice work!

| Hi, Thank you for your feedback. I'll do some maths this week end about costing. the A500 was my first Amiga and I always liked the shape (it allows you to use lots of hardware in there). It's packed with a standard pumped up mini-itx - 8GB RAM, Intel i3 2.5GHz, ATI Radeon HD 6570 2GB PCI-Express card not onboard chip (even a flex-ATX will fit), DVD-RW/Blu-Ray, 3.5" card reader, you could also fit a FDD in its place. The I/O cut out on the back it's standard size. But it's also a bit smaller (shorter and thinner/slimmer than an A500). I have got a couple of things to sort out and it's ready. We need to get to 50 orders, I hope we can do it. A black version will be available but it was more expensive so I made the white one first. Speak to you soon. Loriano

| I really like the reflective coating and the oldschool LEDs. Much better choice for any Amiga than popular MiniITX cases. Congratulations Loriano!

Yes, I guess I'm the unusual customer. I don't care for processing power and extra hardware. For me it would just be DVD, card reader, USB and harddisk/ssd. All of that should fit easily into an A600 type case.

| Never mind.
I prefer knowing that if I am building a pc I can always have a fast one and the A500 shape gives you that. The A600 is more limited, but it's down to taste of course. ;-)

Thanks Bartek, Now all I need is a Natami! :) I know the Natami is a mini-itx format so it will fit nicely, I am drooling at the idea of setting up my own Natami system inside the black version and having the lovely Natami logo on it...beautyful!

Congratulations! It looks nice :)
A Natami will not be practical to mount in the case for now. I guess the keyboard is USB, and HW support for USB keyboards is not done yet. And the USB stack is not started until AmigaOS3 is booted, as I'm sure that you are aware of. Maybe one could use an USB to PS2 adapter as a makeshift solution, but Natami currently is incompatible even with some PS2 devices, so even that might not work for now :)
Have you calculated the unit price for producing 50 devices?

| Hi Andre', A USB to PS2 adapter could work I suspect. Do you think drivers are needed? I'll crunch some numbers and let you know. I want to have a go with Photoshop this week end and see how it looks in black. Speak to you soon.

Not for PS2. USB keyboard/mouse lowlevel support (i.e. working from bootup, in early startup) would be desirable for the future. All Natami users use Classic Amiga keyboards for the moment, though. Thomas has gotten a new job and new commitments lately, and Natami progress is a bit slow for now :)

| Perfect! This is just the case I would like to see the Natami housed in. Retro feel, but modern enhancements. Now, what colour is best, Black or white? Difficult!

| Not sure,I am trying to Photoshop it in black but I suck at Photoshop! Somehow I see the Natami in the black case, the logo would look stunning...
