I got the boards delivered today! Now begins the process of:
- unpacking and freeing the boards from their smt assembly support rails
- soldering the sound card chip
- soldering the wifi-modem (for those who wanted that)
- soldering the ps/2 connector
- programming the attiny and rp2040 chips
- soldering the yamaha chips to the opl3 modules
- connecting all peripherals to each and every board and do a proper round of testing
- cleaning
- packaging
- shipping

I'll do my best to be quick about this, but don't expect miracles as I have three kids and a full time job... 😉
Will contact everyone who's made a purchase with the tracking number once your package is sent!

I don't speak for everyone, but take your time. Unbelievable project. I will cherish this for years to come.

Instead of modern cases, how about the checkmate cases? They have some pretty nice ITX amiga inspired cases. https://www.checkmate1500plus.com/Products.aspx?searchkey=6

It looks like Llamas have started appearing out in the wild:

Got the Vortex86EX from DMP shop just over a week ago. Conveniently I live in the same neighbourhood, so I was able to pick up the ITX-Llama in person earlier today 😀
