Would like to see the final result !

However, I cannot imagine my ATARIs in black...

There are some great colours for sure with the new A1200 cases, I even saw one in C64 colours!!

Very odd though that the Atari hasn't ever had a case remake when the A1200/A600/A500 have had so many.

Yeah, but if you plan to keep an FDD in your Amiga, you won't be able to find a floppy eject button matching all those fancy colours (unless you 3D print it).

While it won't be so difficult for the white and black colour cases.

Mine has a Gotek, so no eject button as such, so it could be easily painted to match as it has a 3d printed mount :)

Black does look good.

I got replacement A1200 keys but they were too white. I mentioned it and they said they went with Escom colours.

So they selected the colour of the A1200 which had the lowest production run :WTF:

And from the other thread by @terriblefire I am 6.5 years in waiting for my A1200 case and keys in CD32 colours.

I read that, pretty severe wait!

Cool, the replacement button rubbers are out for delivery and should be here today :)
