Checkmate & Retro Monitor
Checkmate combines classic computer styling with modern case and monitor solutions. This section contains cases, front and rear panels, accessories and the Retro Monitor for Amiga, mini-system and other retro builds.
The many parts are intentionally modular. Check the base case and hardware before ordering so the front, rear and internal mounts all belong to the same configuration.

Primarily, there are currently the following three products:
 |
Checkmate A1500 PlusThe largest version of the case. Up to two front panels can be installed here. In addition, there are optional elevations that allow a small keyboard to be slid under the case, as with the Amiga 1000. The Checkmate A1500 Plus is suitable for original Amiga 500/600/1200 mainboards as well as MiniIITX / MicroATX PC mainboards. The original Amiga 500 or 1200 keyboard can be installed in an external case. For the Amiga 500 there is a cable set, for the Amiga 1200 you would currently have to work with USB and a Keyrah. For the Amiga 500 we also have a PS/2 adapter which allows to connect a normal PS/2 keyboard. |
Checkmate A1500 MiniThe Checkmate A1500 Mini can't be equipped with an original Amiga motherboard, For full retro enjoyment, we also offer a USB keyboard with MX switches and corresponding keycaps in Amiga design. Currently only with international layout - but a German layout is planned. |

Checkmate GarageThe Checkmate Garage is not a complete case, but just a garage for computers with built-in keyboard - i.e. BBC Micro, C64, Amiga, etc.. It is so robust that you can put tube monitors on top of it without any problems. So after use you can neatly slide your computer under the monitor and clean up. |
Buy ready-made packages or put them together yourself?
Since assembling cases for the desired purpose is not always easy, we have a category with ready-made packages that contain everything you need to assemble for a specific system.
In addition, we also have categories where parts for the desired enclosure can be ordered individually - for anyone who knows what they are doing.
Of course you can always ask us via chat if something is unclear or you have further questions.
