If I remember correctly I paid slightly over $900 US for my Cyberstorm 68060 (and it doesn't even have the PPC chip on it.)

This auction makes me suspect though.

I'm not sure I would actually admit to that  :lol:

Unless... you purchased it brand new in the mid 90's when it was state of the art technology.  In 1997 I bought a P2-400Mhz cpu with an ASUS MB that had LVD SCSI for $1000.  So I'm not beyond forking out crazy money on computer hardware.  That was as fast as you could get though.  Everyone at work was amazed because I was pulling 70FPS on quake 2 with dual voodoo 2's  :-D


No I'm quite proud of it.  One of the first boards and its a screamer!  Still love the Amiga hardware over the emulation though.  I used to program a lot in Cando and WinUAE is not crazy about how it promotes screens.

To this day that 68060 coupled with a 15K SCSI drive runs circles around most of my hardware, and that includes Macs and PCs in the office with the Amiga.
