(sold) Anyone in Perth, Australia want Amiga gear?

[jimeh]

Hey, im from Melbourne.

Dont get too excited, im already feeling a little rude about this post...

I guess it depends how much you wanna get rid it, really...

I recently built my PC for $800

2048mb ram
512mb videocard
E6420 dualcore CPU
etc

now your amiga has 16MB ram... what would i expect to pay for that upgrade, i ask myself?

well... going by the only spec i understand...

its got 16mb ram... thats 128 times less than my $800 brand new PC...

So for 128 times less hardware 'power', youd expect to pay 128 times less money, right? $6.25!

But then... its old, worn and unsupported. I'd never find anywhere to replace something if it broke.

And the shipping costs would be greater than $6.25!

So why am i interested at all? Just wanted to play totalchaos not on an emulator. And i guess i have many, many old floppies *somewhere* that might bring a trip down memory lane too.

i had an A1000 then an A2000-1mb as a kid, which i loved, but ive been a PC boy now since Mechwarror 2 came out.

Anyways, if youre going to throw it out or something drastic ill pay the shipping costs and all that...

Just out of curiosity, what were you looking for as a price?

its a computer id like to have, but cant really see it as a viable purchase with when 1GB DDR2@667MHz = $46

(QFT = 1G-667 Generic /Transcend /Kingston 45 / 45 / 48)

so yeah. what are your thoughts? =)

Against my better judgment....

@ venco, krize, flashlab

Well, you guys prove that having an Amiga does not make you cool...

@flashlab
dude... what word did i use to describe my fondness for the 2 amigas i had from childhood? it was LOVE.

@venco
im trying to score a cheap amiga1200, wtf are you doing?

@krize
yeah... a Hertz is still a cpu cycle, right? a byte is still 8 bits, am i wrong? so its unfair cos PC parts blow amiga parts out of the water? pfffft

Im still here, using my uber PC, trying to sort myself an amiga. You should be proud of what im doing. insted you're nothing but bitter... clinging to shattered dreams, the past... or maybe youre just too {bleep}ing cheap to upgrade.

im an OLDSCHOOL amiga user. I have a collection of crack mods, ffs. over 1000 700kb floppies. i moved with technology. You aint going nowhere.

No, sorry Oliver, you misunderstand.

I mean MY post was rude offering you next to nothing for your extensive and well loved collection of Amiga hardware. Still, no harm in offering the kit a new, loving home, i say! =)

What did you end up getting for it, just to give me a better picture of the 'market', if you don't mind me asking?

Take it easy man.

@rest of ya

I am easily offended by flamers. No one needed to reply to my query but oliver. I offered an option better than the bin.

Why even bother posting in here if you're not making a bid/offer?

My guess was that you're bored and in need of entertainment - thats why I replied at all, against better judgment, as i said. And I'm happily proven right by that smile on your face heading to work.
