IMHO, the the old C=65 case was ridiculous when Doug Cotton showed me the picture of it at the last Amigaworld in NYC. I was working at the CMD booth. :-)
I actually had some hack that would let me use the 128 numeric keypad in C=64 mode.
We need USB keyboard and mouse support on whatever board enters final production, and the case should have the ability to change the keyboard "plate" on any case so we can keep keyboard costs down and mount whatever we want int here.
Take a look at the mechanical keyboard options on Massdrop. There are plenty of options that will allow custom keycaps and keep that Commodore keyboard feel without locking us into some custom keyboard option that will make keyboard production a nightmare.
Also a Floppy drive is idiotic, IMHO. Again... make it a plate option so those who want it can get it, and those who don't care can use the space for whatever we want.

The second drive from this picture by Bo Zimmerman should be how all drives are hooked up. That is brilliant.
