Noelio Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Kewl! I want! Though I would hate to be the one that would have to decide on a case design. At least with the C64 there's really only 1 style that everyone recognizes instantly. In this case (pun, yup!) if you picked 800, 800XL or 130XE, how many would be a little sad that their favorite 400, 600XL, 1200XL, 800XE wasn't chosen? OG vs XL vs XE. If I had to chose one, I think going with a 1450XLD design would be ideal. I imagine everyone would appreciate the sentiment & with that extra room under the hood, it would be popular for modding. Heck, while we're at it, in case (pun yup!) other companies are looking for something to do, think about a full scale micro atx or itx 1450XLD case with a rgb backlit mech keyboard. And don't forget to sell me a matching LCD monitor with speakers that fits perfectly on the top surface. One can dream! I Hope you are all doing great today!

+davidcalgary29 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 A mini XEGS could be amazing in its flexibility for modding. Just think of the possibilities of a real (and wireless) keyboard! My money is on a mini XL-ish case, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyindrew Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I know there was some talk awhile back about a company from Poland doing a modern XL unit but havent heard anything recently. Im not to sure about the details. Do you have any links or more info about this new mini unit. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup I had one too! lol. I'm thinking a mini 130XE might be better.. Put the that SD slot right in the back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks identical to 1200XL to me except for may some port differences 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
