(Personal opinion, no techie info really)
I saw this at an Amiga convention a month back.  It is BIG.  I mean
that size-wise.  It is an add-on chassis.  Everything that is in your
A500 case stays there.  It attaches to/covers the expansion port on
the side and the rear ports.  To get an idea of the dimensions of this
puppy, imagine the case for a Supra interface attached to the side of
your Amiga, now put a box the size of an 2000 on top of your Ami.  I
thought it was kinda ugly.

On another note.  Once again I'm calling for info. for alternate cases
for an A500.  Something like the A1500 case (the 3rd party case, not
the Commodore machine) that is made in the U.K.  Got plans/blueprints
for a homemade case?  Email me.  What I'm looking for in the new case:

	detached keyboard
	1st internal drive (df0:) facing forward

	some options (not vital): room for a 2nd drive or SCSI controller

Does anyone know if the A1500 case is available in the U.S. cheap
($300 is too much).  I am seriously considering making my own which
would involve lots of tools and large pieces of plastic, but only as a
last resort.
