Hi,
Just recently saw a news from CES announcement. Yes, there was a post related to that previously, but now the plastic moulds are in place, means someone really had the budget to manage a new mould for the old stlye C64 housing

I plan since few years a similar PC in A1200 style housing, certainly in black, and with more robust HW and expandable VGA, integrated slim slot-in DVD... As I am not a real millionaire to build such a mould from scratches, so I am considering to contract a known keyboard maker, who has more daily experience and better view on the potential risks than me. 2 already contacted with some draft ideas, waiting for their answer with prices... It seems I am really in delay now...
