Checkmate – Retro Cases for Stylish Nerds

Checkmate is the answer to that age-old nerd question: “How do I fit modern hardware into a case that looks like it came straight out of the Amiga era?” The project was initiated by Stephen Jones (a true ex-Amiga guy) and is produced by iMica Ltd. in Bedford, UK.

The stars of the show are the modular cases for systems like the A1500 Mini and the larger A1500 Plus. In other words: FPGA boards and mini-PCs no longer have to live in boring little boxes – now they can look like something Commodore would’ve proudly released back in the day.

And for extra flair, there’s the Checkmate Garage. No, it’s not a parking spot for your toy car – it’s a clever platform that your monitor sits on, while your keyboard neatly slides underneath. Just tuck it away and your desk instantly looks less like a LAN party and more like a tidy retro command center.

The cases themselves are sturdy, well thought-out, and modular – basically LEGO for grown-up retro fans. Thanks to their open design, Raspberry Pi, MiSTer FPGA, and similar projects fit in perfectly. And the ports? You name it: AV, VGA, HDMI, SCART – pretty much everything works (except maybe your old Game Boy link cable).

Another bonus: the system is open to the community. Want to build your own extensions? Go for it. True nerds know the fun really starts when you get to piece everything together yourself.

Conclusion:
Checkmate brings retro style and modern convenience together – smart, sleek, and flexible. Perfect for retro fans who love their hardware, but also appreciate a clean and classy nerd aesthetic.
