Robson, well-known for his amazing case modding skills, has published a collection of information on his latest finding: a tower created by German company Tetra GmbH (which still exists today). The tower was marketed as Manhatten tower in the 90s as a replacement for the ST/TT case and fitted all kinds of extensions, similar to the Lighthouse Tower, the Rocke Tower or theย Digital Data Deicke (DDD) cases.
Robson's website contains detailed information, photos and screenshots as well as many other great Atari topics. It's highly recommended to have a closer look at the whole website.

There's too much of a 'Beige 1995-era PC dominating and overpowering all before ot' theme there.
I'm more keeping Atari in stock cases where possible, or a smart TT or Mega ST Pizza box. I also like rack-mount and my second Falcon has the Desktopper case.ย
I appreciate other people's mileage may vary. I remember an impressive towered Falcon seen at demo parties, could have been Satantronic?
My first STE came in the Desktopper case. I bought it unseen and found it quite ugly when I received it. But it worked well (4 MB, Toscard with TOS 2.06, 2 Floppy drives, external PC keyboard, usable as monitor stand) and in the end it was my main machine for a several years and I liked it for that.
It ended up being thrown away in a semi-functional state when moving 15 years ago, and as one may guess, for nostalgic reasons I sometimes regret it.
However, as a piece of Atari market history it's good to see at least the Tetrax being comprehensively documented. The information will be added on the dev-docs Atari archive pages, too.
