Not sure how I feel about this, since it's

1) Not amiga-related
2) Using the forums to advertise.

That being said, good luck.

There is a reason for these selling cheap. If I remember
correctly, the 7200 and 8200 are very hard to upgrade.  The
cpu is surface-mounted to the board.  Also the 8200 case is
a royal pain to try any upgrades.  The 8500s are better since
they use cpu modules that allow for easier upgrading, but the
cases are still a pain.  The 7300,7500,7600,8600, and 9600 are
all nice machines similiar to the 8500, but with more user
friendly cases.  The higher end 9600s still sell for a good
chunk of change.  Too bad OS4 will not run on these machines.

@wayne
yes I apologise, but I just thought that someone here may  have a use for them

@billchase
yeah the 8200 is hart to upgrade, but still more usefull than an 040/060 amiga, thus I thought I'd post them here. I don't want much for them £15 for the 8200 would be okay

P&P makes even the generous price of £15 seem expensive :-(

Everyone should live in London :-D

yes i know, p&p is a ball ache. If you are interested I don't mind dropping my price to subsidise p&p a bit.

I sold my Centris (October 2003) - (later type of Quadra) for about 35 GBP om ebay.

Plug the fact it can be an inexpensive linux box (debian m68k) - that worked for me.

A big market for silent webservers / hosters out there.  Thats what these become.

(thanks to no CPU fan and very very quiet (and completely ineffective!) power supply)
