Hi Nathan,

Welcome from across the ditch!!

I am also having trouble selling my 500W ATX PSU's for Amiga 500/600/1200/A4000/CD32. I bought 10 of them, and have only sold 2 so far :-S Obviously, I spent a fair bit of money buying them, so I may not buy any more once they all sell.

what did you expect? do you think everyone was waiting for you? you are some years too late. there are already other solutions around. ;-)

@all :-D

I felt that I should defend Amigkit.com when I saw this post (not that it is offensive or anything), but forgot about it. Also, not to say that you were attacking him/her/them ;-) Anyhow...

My own personal experience with Amigkit.com: - 1) Their prices were the cheapest I could find across the various webshops selling Amiga hardware (without turning over every rock) & (2) I received items in a timely manner in the post, and I found their shipping/postage charges to be very reasonable. Answering of e-mails was good too.

Also, regarding a business, (of any size - where the proprietor earns a living from it), they must achieve certain profit margins to survive. They may have staff to pay, hosting fees etc etc - overheads. So, just because you see someone selling an item significantly more expensive than mine (or not!), doesn't necessarily mean they are trying to rip you off :-) I personally believe that Amigakit.com are one of the good guys out there selling Amiga hardware :-)

I'm just wondering.. why did you use choose the 500watt psu?
(I thought the a500 brick psu was 60 watts and ample for expansions)

An A500 brick might draw 60-80W from the mains but it's more like 30W actual output. It's enough for a base machine with a teensy bit of RAM and an extra floppy drive  but not really enough for any well-expanded machine. That's why a lot of Amiga peripherals came with another PSU brick.
