Title: Sam460 system for sale
Post by: AmiBoy on January 04, 2014, 05:46:56 PM
SYSTEM NOW SOLD

Hi everyone,

I have decided that I need to sell my Sam460 system

The system is a SAM460 (1.15Ghz CPU) with 2GB RAM in a Coolermaster Centrurian 5 case with PSU.

Also included in the sale are:

* 1TB 3.5" HDD
Currently Partitioned with 5 drives:
    * AmigaOS (updated to 4.1.6) (2GB)
    * Games (598GB)
    * Productivity (100GB)
    * Files (200GB)
    * Downloads (100GB)
* PCI-E Radeon HD6570 graphics card
* SATA DVD writter
* SIL3114 4 port SATA card
* Amiga OS4.1 CD with emergency boot memory card (licence will be transfered once new owner takes possession of the system)

I will also throw in some games:
    *Quake 2
    *Freespace
    *Napalm
    *Earth2140 + Expansion
    *Simon the Sorceror 2
    *Nightlong
    *Foundation Gold Edition

Note: Hard drive already has quite a few free games installed from various sites like os4depot, and I will leave installed all the other productivity programs I have downloaded (e.g. Amicygnix + Abiword, Gnumeric, Gimp etc).

I would prefer to sell the system as a whole.

Price is £550 or nearest offer for everything, with payment via PayPal as a gift or buyer pays paypal fees.

Buyer also pays shipping costs

Please PM me for costs to your location.

Hi Iggy,

Thanks for the concern :-)

I am OK, just tired of the scene really and as my wife and I are trying for a baby so I am saving up as much money as I can.

Also my other hobbies vastly outweigh the time I spend on my miggy :-(.

Also watch this space as I will be selling my classic system from my sig, although I will probably break that up for a quicker sale.

I originally bought the system so I could write install scripts for people, but I never got the time to do it because of work :-(

Hi Vox.

Unfortunately I am using the games as a sweetener to try and get the system sold, so I wont be able to sell them separately.

Although if someone is not interested in the games at all and just wants the system I will let you know :-)

Understandable, I have thinned out my excess processions myself.
If you don't have time to use it, find someone who might.
If MorphOS didn't offer some functionality, I'd let that go too.

That OS is what makes your SAM interesting.

Soon it will be the first PCI-E system that supports OS4 and MorphOS.

Hey guys, the board alone is almost worth his asking price.
You aren't going to find a better price on one of these systems than this.

Surely, plus AROS and Linux.

Well ... MOS has to support RadeonHDs, because SAM 460ex is picky on gfx cards ... but that is for new owner to survive.

Anyway, top Acube model based on 440 experience!

Outside of the X1300, I am can not really speculate what cards might be supported under MorphOS once SAM460 support is released.

But I suspect we will receive 3D support for HD cards before this is available for OS4.

And, as our developers aren't focused on a multi-core revision, the SAM might run better under MorphOS than OS4.2.

That is my bet to, now you do read my mind :-)

I have Radeon HD 4000 and 6870 when time comes!

It is and half priced.

However, you should try Amigans.net and AW.net

Hi Vox,

I've got it advertised on here, Amibay, Amigaworld and Amigans.ney

No one is biting though :(

Good Day,
I like the price/bundle, is very tempting but shipping to California and currency conversion will kill me. I really have to save up for something like this.

I would have bought it if I hadn't gotten my hands on a SAM440ep-flex earlier this year, still use my Mac Mini and MorphOS the most tho and it's fast enough for me :/

But good luck selling it, it is a good price!

Wow...if I had some spare cash I would snap it up myself, I deeply regret selling my
sam440ep miss that machine so much :(

When you come to sell the system in your siggy I would be very interested in the mediator board if you are splitting it :)

@carvedeye

Out of curiosity Would you want just the mediator busboard or all the cards with it?

Regards

Just the mediator and possibly the network card as I have all the other cards, I have a radeon 9250 that I would like setup on the mediator as it has more ram :)

Further bumped as, if I had the spare funds, this would be mine.
AND its a system with VOX's seal of approval.

:) thanks iggy

Had only one enquiry from here but don't think its going anywhere

Had one off Amibay but that led nowhere :(

I am a little worried that many overseas buyers may be being put off by the shipping costs but they could at least enquire, they never know they might just find it cheap enough.

Postage is not massive either.

Couple of people enquired, I gave them postage and not a peep.... :(

@Delta

Thanks! much appreciated :D

I was thinking of selling mine a couple weeks ago but I changed my mind at least until I see OS 4.2 or 3D drivers for real and then I'll be able to decide if it's worthy of keeping.

Its just that my PC is so fast and user friendly that I have a big drop in fun when I get on the SAM.  I thought it would bring me the same pleasure I had using my A4000 back then but no...its different.    Its really a hobby computer, half the stuff doesn't work and development is slow.

At least I knew what I was buying so i'm not gonna sue Acube   *wink* wink*  ;)

You still can, if you toddle over to MorphZone. He's currently winding up all the MorphOS users by calling them all sorts of names and posting lots of links to YouTube videos of Reggae. I rather feel sorry for them....

For what it's worth, I'd be taking this 460 if it weren't for the fact I already have four AmigaOS 4.1 machines. :)

Yeah, maybe you think its funny, but you really have to work at it to find offense in something André Siegel posts.

Well... I guess it is a little funny.

But VOX may actually find MorphOS satisfactory.
One thing is for certain, he won't get as many unfulfilled promises.

Just in case someone needs a more solid recommendation than Voxs... >.> The SAM 460 is a great build and this offer is a great price. Well worth it.

Like mentioned on page 2 its a big shame that we are still waiting on 4.2 to fully utilise the HD Graphics cards that common to these systems.
