My 1541U case by Loriano arrived today. Here are some pics:



I plan to bring my setup to OVGE 2009.

For some reason I didn't expect the case to be that big, but at least the card rests on the desk now instead of just hanging off the back. I like it!

Depending on your C64 chassis, you need to add rubber feet to the C64 to get everything level. (The feet come with the case.) There are rubber feet on the 1541U case as well. The case also comes with edge protectors which make the whole thing feel very sturdy and safe. As much as I liked the 1541U before, I was always a little worried about some errant static charge bricking the thing. Now I don't think about it.

I'm more worried about spilling water/beer/kool-aid on it. Wink
