Dale, You said and I quote, "I'm not sure that Escom will get parts at less than a premium — I can't see them commiting to the volumes that Commodore had…" In hindsight, I suppose you are right. However, if the do take the time to use a standard PC chassis, they could conceivably save some money without compromising quality.

Don't forget non-standard power supply (tick signal), floppy drives (different electronics), etc. The connectors on an Amiga will make using a standard casework tough in any event, and will certainly require a new board layout, something which will be expensive and time consuming to set up, do, test, and put into production.

Oops. Completely forgot about that. Sigh.
