http://www.ebay.com/itm/Amiga-500-1MB-mit-Gotek-USB-Laufwerk-und-Netzteil-/181670439484?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_77&hash=item2a4c66ea3c
Just need to look at picture 4 and 5 and feel the pain the A500 is going through. :-/
-
Damned hippies. :(
I knew there was a reason I always hated those Goteks/floppy emulators. ;)
-
Instead of making a nice clean cut with a Dremel it appears ripping the side open and then replacing it with some random plastic/tape/glue etc is the way to go :-/
Then to say condition is refurbished is a bit of a stretch.
-
Damn. So cannabis does affect brain cells negatively?
-
someone contact the seller and ask what's been done to refurbish it...
"top Zustand"
"top condition"
:/
-
this makes me more then MAD!, it makes my frustrated that some people can destroy their amiga just to get a usb stick in their amiga.

Good heavens, what an eyesore.

some random plastic/tape/glue etc
I was thinking it was Bondo - fiberglass body filler. Maybe too many years of working on cars made me guess that. ;)

Manslaughter :-(

Dopeheads.

Dopeheads.
Yes, like the guys who smashed an amiga and the other idiot with the chainsaw...
Makes my heart bleed.

Its just a piece of plastic, anybody can replace the top cover....
-
What did you think of the 'Accept No Imitations' picture?
-
face palm
-
Why's that?

True, he only mangled and gloss-blacked the top cover. The bottom looks untouched.
At least he didn't film himself blowing it up! A tech at a community TV station near me was going to do that to 3 "obsolete" A2000s. I just can't bring myself to understand all points of view. ;)
-
Look at it from the bright side. Keyboard and motherboard can be used. :-(
-
He could have at least lifted his Amiga 500 over the garden flowers and fossilised it with dobs of Blueberry Syrup and let it dry to give it a glossy glass like effect. 2 Blueberry Glass 500 Ball's make good hanging household ornament's that look like Planet Neptune. :p

Could be right too, couldn't really make out what it was. Hmm make an Amiga case out of bondo? ;-)

By hacking another case to get the Amiga logo back? Blasphemy! ;-)

By hacking another case to get the Amiga logo back? Blasphemy! Also in this case it proves not everyone can replace the top cover ;-)

Wish someone would paint the top of the seller in black and dig a hole in the side of his head. That would be either be poetic justice or another Chainsaw Massacre sequel.

How about my Blueberry Syrup idea?

What a horrible looking "computer". The guy who "refurbished" this A500 should be in another line of work.
It is amazing what you can do with a Dremel tool, and some filler and paint. But, not this way..........
