Dang, they sure don't go for cheap these days! IMHO the A1200 is great if you just want something for playing games, as there's a lot of AGA-only content out there. Also the faster chipset is nice just for tinkering around with Workbench (since you can pretty much forget about getting a graphics card for one unless you plan on taking out a second home mortgage). But if you just want something to feed your Amiga fix, there's plenty of A2000's out there starting at less than half that, as well as A500's, I even saw an A600 and a CDTV on ebay going for less than that, a few minutes ago.Personally I love my A2000's. Easy to expand and tinker on, I fire up my main one almost every day just to "get my fix". Still, if you've got the cash and don't mind scouring the net a bit, an A1200 with replaced caps, a CF adapter, one of the ACA accelerators, and an Indivision AGA (with the Kipper2K HDMI adapter if you're into that sort of thing) will give you a nice, compact, fairly "modern" and "bulletproof" system to play around with.Good luck!
Thank you Mike...what you're saying makes total sense. I am still looking: it's always like that...you get in it thinking you know what you want and then there are so many options that it gets hard to make up your mind....add the fact that some of these are harder and more expensive to find in the US and i think it might take a bit longer than expected to make a decision.That said, to me the search is half the fun :laugh1:
IMHO that A4000 from @danbeaver sounds like a mighty tasty deal! You should jump on that if you haven't already. Hell, I might be interested if I didn't already have way more projects than I have time. I'll probably look for one in a year or two, at which point they'll have doubled in price again, lol.
Sadly for me, I saw one of the Dell's ST2420 monitors on icBay for $70 plus $20 shipping and bought it with a $19 sound bar in between scribbling the posts above. At 1920 X 1080 and syncing to 15kHz they really produce a nice picture in a small form factor.
Ha, so no sale on the A4K? I'll probably be hitting you up in a couple years, lol. On the monitor front, I always preferred 4:3 for my Amigas. Got one of these on it's way to me now, for testing http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&sqi=2&ved=0CB4QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dell.com%2Fdownloads%2Femea%2Fproducts%2Fsnp%2FUltraSharp%25202007FP_EN.pdf&ei=WTiyVKnqFIHnsAScx4DgDA&usg=AFQjCNH53XEU--57HSAxoYzeBz2akI3hbQ&sig2=iLQzUgeuP-bvMG7WUiqtnw&bvm=bv.83339334,d.cWc
