Ok my question has no purpose. One day i found a link that i dont remember anymore. There was a collector who had tons of amiga stuff hw and sw. I know that many of you got more than one., but does anyone know who is the most fanatic collector? Pictures?

TrevorDick?

Don't know, I have 2 3000's, 2 3000t, 1 2500, 2 1200, 2 4000, 3 cd32's, 2 scala workstations, and 2 500's, Box's of new software, plus a bunch of commodore eight bit stuff. I am sure there are many more amigily challenged than I though. :-D

@Akiko
TrevorDick?
I think you could be right there :-)
-
Im sure there are alot of more people who have tons of stuff.
Right now im suffering from "want them all disease :madashell: "
The only 3 things that keep me still in normal mode:
wife getting angry, no more space, no more money <- in that order. :)
-
I once had so many A500s we toyed with the idea of re-roofing the house with them!
-
Well, I am reluctant to post in this thread as I am almost embarrassed to admit to anyone outside the Amiga community how much Amiga stuff I have, and what I have spent on it all over the last 19 years.
I just picked up the last piece to my collection, the somewhat rare A3000T 040. It is in very good condition, but the floppy cover plate is a little discolored.
I told myself and my 13 year old son that this is the last classic Amiga I will ever buy as it completes my collection (as far as I am concerned) by giving me every model Amiga produced. I don't count the A2500 or A1500 as separate models, I instead consider them as variations of other models that I do have. Here is my list. (sorry, I know most of you have already seen it)
A1000 - 2, 1 working, the other waiting to be transformed
A500 - 2, 1 w/GVP A530 and 1 w/Supra HD + RAM
CDTV - 2, bone stock
A2000 - 2, 1 w/060 Toaster Flyer
A3000D - 3, 2 w/040 Warp Engines & VLAB Motion/Tocatta
A3000T - 1, soon to have 060 & Toaster Flyer
A4000D - 3, 2 in tower conversions w/Toaster Flyer & CSPPC
A4000T - 1, w/Toaster Flyer & CSPPC
A600 - 1, stock w/HD, needs minor work, intermittent keybd problem
A1200 - 2, 1 w/060, OS 3.9, Subway USB & wireless NIC
CD32 - 2, 1 mint, brand new in box, 1 w/SX-1 expansion
That is a total of 21 classic Amigas. I had thought of trying to put all the Amiga hardware and software I own in one room to take a picture of it, but have not had the time or opportunity to do so yet. There are probably a few others that have more than I do, but not many I'll bet.
I actually plan on thinning out my collection later this year when I have the time to organize it all, but when I think of selling any of the Amiga computers, it is hard for me to imagine letting any of them go. I mean what if I need parts when one of them starts having problems and there are no more available? I know that I should probably let one of the A1200's, the CDTV's, the CD32's, the A2000's, the A3000D's go, to make room and because I don't use them. I probably will, but I am keeping the rest as a complete collection and for my video studio use. :crazy:

:-o

You could be thinking about Zimmers.net (http://www.zimmers.net/cbmpics/index.html)
He is a Commodore collector in general but I know he owns a CDTV CR, CDTV, to many Commodore PET's to be healthy and much more.
Some of the pictures are ones he got from ebay but most are of ones he owns.
Commodore Pet heaven (http://www.zimmers.net/cbmpics/2002fiasco/pets.gif)
He has a couple more computers than me (http://www.zimmers.net/cbmpics/2002fiasco/green.gif)
His site is well worth a browse.
Me, I only have a few Amiga's, I dont really collect the extra hardware or much software.
I do have 19 Amiga's, plus a few dead motherboards but thats it at the moment

:-o So far we could call him, a collector :) and yes i think he has couple more omputers than you do or i do.

Here is my Atari site! *Grin*
http://www.vintagecomputercafe.com/ataricomputers.htm
Also have several C64/128 systems. :)

"Here is my Atari site! *Grin*"
Did I just hear some Amiga blasphemy on that site :furious: :lol:
-
You guys make me fell so much better. I though I was going mad but you're all f**ing crazy :-D
Here's mine:
1A4000D WarpEngine 40/40, Cybervision
1A4000T 3640 (waiting better..), PicassoIV/Paloma/Concierto
1A1200 Soon with a Blizzard 1260 (won on eBay)
2x spare A1200mobos (including a rare 1A version:))
I though various times about selling the A4000T and the PicassoIV, because I don't really need them but resisted so far. They're in excellent condition and were both bought together on german eBay for around 500 Euro almost a year ago (time flies..), wich I consider a bargain judging by the price these things go today.
It's just something I cannot really explain.. 8-)

Well... some of you certainly put me to shame!
I have:
A500 KS1.3 (softkicked to 3.0), Supra HD8 200Mb HD + 2Mb RAM, 0.5Mb trapdoor
A500 KS1.2 (with left C= key), KCS PowerPC in trapdoor
A1000 with DKB Insider board (1.5Mb?)
A1200/060/32Mb KS3.1, 2Gb HDD, Subway USB, Microvitec multisync 14" CRT
A1200/030/16Mb KS3.0, 200Mb HDD
A3000/060/128Mb KS3.1/OS3.9, 1Gb & 10Gb HDDs, Catweasel, Ethernet, Cybervision 64, iiyama 17" CRT
2 x A600, both with 1Mb trapdoor, no floppy drives (died!)
I consider the A3000 my "main" Amiga, and the 1200/060 is sometimes used if I want to run something that requires AGA.
I'd like to get the two A600s running again... Am waiting for tnt23's floppy drive replacement project!
I've also got more Amiga PSUs than you can shake a stick at, as well as 3x 1084S, 1x 1081S, 5x external floppy drives, etc, etc...
- Ali
P.S. I also have heaps of non-Amiga and non-C= stuff (especially on the Sinclair side of things!) but that's another story!

I have never regarded myself as a collector,but i like having all these different machines,each has its own personalities and quirks. Tinkering with the hardware is fun.AMIGA since 88'!
I will spare everyone my c64/128 stuff ;)

Gee,
I thought I was getting a little insane with four amigas.
:-o
-
If I didn't sell that motherboard I was going to use in my Bianca Neve project, then I would have had four Amigas. Lack of money just sucks I tell you.
-
I think I'll say the horribly clichéd "it's not about who has the biggest, but what you do with it".
Up until last year I only had an A500. Now I have an A1000 and a second A500. I've been trying to get an A1200 for months.
@TjLaZer
Can I have one of your Atari 800XLs? I only want one - the one that looks brand new and works properly. ;-)
A couple years ago I bid on an 800XL and a 1050 floppy drive (separate auctions, same owner). I won the 1050, but LOST the 800XL in the final seconds. So for years now, I've just had the damn floppy drive.
-
@ mechy
Can you tell me more about that pcmcia card reader: I don't understand how that works in an A4000T.
-
I can always tell when someone has mentioned the collection on the forums, cus my hit count goes through the ceiling. Thanks for that... Dunno whether I have the biggest collection, but I guess it must be getting that way. Read my blog for what I get up to... This weekend I picked up a nice box of goodies.. PicassoIV, Catweasel, Bridgeboard, Cyberstorm MKII plus SCSI module and a load of other A4000 bits and pieces. Anyway for those that haven`t seen a quite massive Amiga collection all on one site visit
http://www.commodore-amiga-retro.com
I am currently updating the site with the next round of acquisitions and am half way through the photography. So expect another update mid Feb. My current projects include rebuilding an Amiga 4000T and an Amiga 3000UX. That last project has involved a world wide search for hardwear and kit which is ongoing. I am still short of the tape drive, if anyone can help.
I also deperately want to get my hands on a 1060
