I got my 1200 last weekend and that baby looks pristine. Nothing to complain. The psu cable and mouse cable are a little darkened, probably due to heat and age, but with isopropanol that layer comes off.  Some screws missing, but thats no big deal. The software package is sealed, the books look nice and white.

Now i am playing with the thought of getting this one expanded. Anyone has experience with bvision and the ppc without needing to upgrade to a tower? And how much slower will it be than the cyberstorm/cybervisionppc in an a 4000?

Had a 4000t with ppc in the 90s, remember live preview raytraced renderings, forgot to name of the program...

hmmmmm. Mine worked well, out of the box. While it looks very nice and new, there were some screws missing, but so what ? And the rubber feet were dirty... that doesnt mean it was used! It even smelled of new Amiga ! The cardboard box looks very used, but so what ? Hey, it works, the Amiga is nice and white, and thats what counts ! 150 Euros is not much, compared to what the Amiga cost once, compared to PPC and 68060 Hardware prices nowadays !
Thank you for your efforts and honesty Petro ! I appreciate you doing what you did, for a lot of happy Amigans!

You can use 99% isopropanol which washes it off like a charm, even off the cardboard.
