Dear Friend:
I am not sure, but I believe software hut has amiga 1200 NOS in good condition.
www.softhut.com
send them an email and wait them for their answer, it will take a few days.
Good Luck !!!

Most 1200s on ebay are too expensive for the condition and come with unwanted crap.

So you have one of two choices ... negotiate with the seller on ebay, stating A1200 only required and let them relist the extra's in a new auction or go to amigakit.co.uk

If i cant get none of the above ill get a nos amiga for £150 from amigakit, but if i cant get a 4000 i would prefer to get a clean second hand 1200 for about 50 quid. The reason for this is i think i can get more miggy for my money if im spending £150+. so it goes like this
1)4000 for 100+
2)1200 second hand clean for 50ish (and the £100 will go towoards 040/060).
3)3000 for 100+ (expect to pay more)
4)2000 for 50-70
5)if i dont get what i want may aswell get something new.(amigakit)

cmon you guys dont need all em miggys!

Dear Friend:
Just for your information, I want to share something.
I have had my amiga 1200 for many years. Is good and reliable. I bought it used from a friend, for us$ 800.
For a stock a1200 with 020/14mhz, with a printer and monitor. Very pricey, as you see, but to me it was worth every penny. I upgraded it to accel 030 with 50mhz/fpu/16 mb ram and 3gig hd. This system was good enough to get started into 3d animation...and then many years later when my cash flow was much better, I was able to buy a super pentium pc with lightwave. The amiga was good enough to learn the basics of 3d animation before I could get into lightwave. Because my amiga was so good, I was able to learn animation with limited cash, before I moved on.
Now that I can render nice gfx on my pc/lightwave, I still use my amiga and aladdin 4d to create new original animations. As you see, the amiga was well worth what I paid.

A1200 bring more than 50 quid at auction, you are a few years to late for the giveaways. I don't have one for you, but somebody might feel nice.
-
If you have an amiga for sale state your price, if its gonna be this hard getting a computer its gonna be hell getting an blizz/cstorm. how much do blizzard 1230,1260 and cstorm 060 go for these days? just so i know my options.
-
My Amiga for sale is an A1200 with 4mb ram expansion and 1gb cf hdd. I am looking for £75 plus p&p.
As a side note, i have recently sold a blizzard 1230 for £130 and i have just purchased a Blizzard 040 PPC for £150 plus A1200 with Blizzard 1230.

sorry dude yellow keys would piss me off, and for 75 quid i would just get NOS which seems my only option atm.

not wanting to sound derogative or anything but please tell me where your gonna get NOS for £75? I have a NOS and i paid £100 (lucky purchase from neighbouring city via ebay).
Analogic (http://www.analogic.co.uk/Amiga_CD32A1200.html) have them listed at £100 plus p&p but from my previous dealings they have really bad customer service.
AmigaKit (http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=305) have them listed for £99 for refurbished and £150 for NOS.
Mike
-
what i mean is if i am spending close to £100 i may aswell spend 100-150 getting a refurb or nos. also the 4meg ram expansion is no value to me as i will be looking for an accelerator once i have the amiga, hopefully one that can run tbl demos.
-
Sorry misunderstood you. No probs. Good luck with your findings. :-)

lol i wish.
No i gave him £150 and the 1200 with b1230 and i got the 040 BlizzardPPC.
The total of the deal worked out about £300 and from what i saw around ebay it was a fair deal.
Mike
-
oh i get you, but at those prices arnt 1200s sold at £20 :-P
-
lol, i actually have 2 1200's i'm looking to sell for £20 each. They are just the base units with 3.0 roms and yellowing to the casing and keyboard but are in perfect working order. I've ended up with about 7 or 8 "wedge" 1200's and am slowly thinning down to upgrade my 1200 tower.
Mike
-
damn i used to have a clean 1200 case and 3.1 roms with my old 1200 i should of kept it and i could of had it fixed :-(
if it wasnt so hard to get 3.1 roms i would of baught a mobo off you for 20 quid.
-
I have one set of 3.1 roms i was saving but i could make a deal with you on one of the 1200's. How about one of my base units with 3.1 roms installed for £30 plus p&p (about £8 via courier if in the uk)?
I can also supply PSU and mouse if required for an all in total of £35 plus p&p
I'm sure you could get a clean case from ebay or somewhere and I can provide a photo of the two machines if you'd like a better idea.
Mike
-
i wouldn't mind a gander for 30 quid i might just tower the thing :idea:
-
Here are the two base units.
1st unit (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/holly.mclaughlin/1200_1.JPG)
