Hi folks here is a Vampire 4 SA M-ITX case mount for Vampire 4. Use easy to find standard PC cases with the upcoming V4.

Thats really nice and vastly improves case choices.

Will it be sold via dealers?

So far it looks like its a print-ready model. You will likely be able to get it from thingyverse and print one yourself or get it from someone with a 3d printer, if you dont have one.
I don't really expect dealers to sell 3d printed stuff (they could but.. quality issues...) and you can be pretty sure there's not gonna be an injection molded versions of it because of low volume vs cost..

Yeah, I was mistaken mixed it up with all the gotek stuff.

Don’t really see the point with this. It’s not going to line up in any way to allow access to the joystick or USB ports on any existing ITX case that I can tell..

But yeah I guess if you wanted to go this way it wouldn’t be hard to duplicate the design and 3D print it.

  Joystick ports and USB can be put to the front or back of an ITX case with panel mount extension cables.

A 5.25" bay adapter would be nice since you can get panel mount extensions for all the other ports on the board.  It might cost a bit more for the extensions but it means use can fit the vampire in an existing PC or NG Amiga setup.  Further integration could be achieved with a capture card to route the display through a PC, it's a shame there are no suitable drivers for any of the NG operating systems.

I think the Vampire V4 has the same footprint as a 3.5" drive so I might have a go at the trickier option of mounting it in a 3.5" bay.
