Title: How do you get your Amiga stuff?
Post by: J-Golden on January 18, 2011, 01:15:34 PM

Taking a page from ElPolloDiablo, here is a poll that I think will have a more interesting reply...;)
 
This is primarily hardware minded and for the present, AND YOU CAN CHOOSE MORE THEN ONE ANSWER!!!!
 
Me? I used to buy new but I now live off of donations with spurts of buy used :)
 
AND I love Chocolate Chip Pancakes ;)

Amiga stuff? Used or free to a good home.
PCs? One, two, or three steps down from the best available and then pushed via overclocking and other enhancements.

My latest HW buy was a new, compatible SATA Sil PCI card. Next in the shopping list are a PCI USB2 card (when USB2 drivers for OS4 will be released) and an audio card to replace my Soundblaster 128.

Online shop is convenient. In 98 you could get Amiga gear cheap in Australia, but now people are fighting over all the scraps. I imagine a lot of Amigas got taken away in the free council clean ups we have here.

I have only ever bought one new computer, and that was an acer aspire way back in '98. All my amigas and pcs were either used or I built them.

It can be quite odd where you find Amiga stuff these days. Flea markets, Stores that used to carry Amiga stuff, even FreeCycle at times! And loads of places on line....
