Mine arrived a few days ago.

Although not perfect, the box was in much better condition than I expected.

The computer shows absolutely no signs of use whatsoever. No missing or stripped screws. Not a spec of dust anywhere inside or out, no perceivable wear on the motherboard ports. The top section plastic is actually slightly darker than both my original C=1200 and other Amiga Tech 1200 I bought new sometime around '01 or '02. Not yellowed in the slightest, maybe just a different batch of plastic. I'm pretty fussy about cosmetics, and thought the condition was just fine. :pint:

There are a few leaked capacitors on the motherboard, no big deal as I pretty much expected it. I'll replace all the caps and play a few games before returning it to its box for some later date. :-)

Only real downer for me was the lack of polys for the sides of the computer.

Nice! Looks like you got the good mouse left over from the C= era... mine came with the craptastic Amiga Technologies mouse... :p

It's branded as an Amiga Tech Mouse so maybe they made several types?


Interesting. I have 2 that style, both made in Malaysia and C= branded. I attached a pic of the one I got - most frustrating/useless/etc POS ever. The other type is actually pretty decent IMO.
