Pictures can be seen on my "About My Computers" page (http://mikerye.homeip.net/about_my_computers.html). Some of the text and a couple of the pics (those of which showing GVP I/O Extenders which I don't have any more) are out of date. The top two sections of the page are how my computer room setup used to look. A bit of that is out of date. I have since rebuilt a bigger desk and re-arranged my entire computer room. The system information in THIS posting is correct.
Both systems are fully functional. They are running right now as I type this message. I don't have any videos made yet of them running, but I am going to work on that if I really decide to sell these systems.
So, with all that being said, what are your honest assessments of their worth?

Man I hate this kind of thread. Part them out for maximum profit. Or put them on ebay to see what people offer. Set a minimum if you want to get at least $x for them.
Alternatively, I'll give you $100 bucks for the 4000T. :lol:

@ SilvrDrgn
if you really have to sell then sell the A500 as the A4000T will be very very hard to replace when you decide you want it back (yes I said 'when';)). If anything do yourself a big favour and keep your CS-MKIII at least & if you MUST sell it don't settle for anything less than $1,000 USD for it

Yeah, that's a nice 500. I'd almost pick it up off you, though it would for sure be out of the price range I'd want to spend to replace my old machine that committed suicide off a top shelf in my closet. :/ Of course, I don't even fire up UAE anymore, but if you're looking to sell, it should net you a nice price.

@SilvrDrgn,
I would never dream of selling my A2000 or A4000T-AT! I know I would regret it as they are both loaded.

Hah! Wise guy! :-)

So, I got a video made running MODs on each of them. The A4000T has a quite loud and annoying hard drive whine coming from it. Been doing that ever since I can remember setting that system up in its current config. I think it's coming from the Western Digital hard drive, but not sure. Anyway, it's quite prevalent in the video (the first link), so I filtered it on another copy of the same video (second link).
