There's a Kickstarter of a new case that can be used for Amiga and ATX motherboards. It looks a lot like the old Amiga 3000. 😎

I think it could definately work for a Retro PC build as well, it has very flexible support for 3.5"/5.25" drives etc.

The pledge level looks a bit bad right now, hope it makes a big spurt at the end.

Saw this on Retro Mancave a few weeks ago. Intriguing! However, since I have neither Amiga aspirations, nor Micro ATX / ITX interests, but rather AT or Baby AT boards, I will skip on this. 😀

I wonder if it would be possible to fit a Baby AT board in there? Obviously a riser would be necessary.

Very tempting. Need to check if my Flex ATX board fits in it.

It looks like there will be an option to buy rear panel with vertical slots, so no need for risers then. 😀
