That's far off man... asking prise for that dodgy system isn't reality connected and the firm terms just don't match the object... I would expect much better photos (better cleasup of the turbo so one could at least read the writing on the CPU, 1 picture of the hole unit is enough, I would like to see how the unit looked inside and especialy one of the broken hinges and scratches... and finaly some picture showing a tv/monitor of the working system preferably with sysinfo prog running showing the working turbo and hd/mem size) when the price is that high and terms are the way they are.

I meen, once in a while you find Apollo630/50 cards going for 80-90$, buy a secondhand working standard A600 for about 20-40$, buy a working secondhand 4Gb 2.5" HD for about 10-20$, build your own powerfull AT PSU for 10$, buy a working 32Mb simm for 10$, if nessesary buy a new clean A600 casing from Vesalia for 10$, buy a secondhand external diskdrive for less than 10$.

That calculates to between 150-190$ for a system that's fully working (no dead diskdrive or sound), is faster (50Mhz not lowend 33Mhz), with working memory (what do we need two 32Mb simms that only register as 16 when there's just one simmslot?), looks like new (no scratches or missing trapdoor) and can power more addons (200W+ PSU instead of 50W).
