Some more overpriced hardware.

With the resent deal from Red offering a PCI, Voodoo3 and Ethernet solution, guaranteed to work, for less I don't get it why ppl still pay these rediculous amounts for old Amiga hardware that are sold "as-is". :crazy:

Some ppl are just not prepared to wait for the right deal I guess... I meen... a few months ago I bought an A4000D, 040/25, CV3D+Scandoubler, Ariadne1 and Buddha in a mint contidion (except for battery been removed) for about 215$... and a year ago I bought an A4000D in Mirage Pro tower, CSPPC060, PCI, CV3D+Scandoubler, Ariadne1, FastATA + more for about 550$. :-o

Oppinions... personaly I like the CV3D and find it together with it's scandoubler to be just as good as the PIV. Sure the PIV has it's custom PCI bridge and if you value that high it could be concidered more "bang for the buck" but surely that doesn't make the GFX part any better (belive the GPU to be better on the CV3D than the PIV). And personaly I rather have a standalone GFX card and a real PCI solution.

Ofcause installing the scandoubler is hell so that too can bring the overall experience down but once it works it's fine by me.

Snipped from TBBAH: "As the name might suggest "AGA" this card is not designed for use in AGA systems such as the A4000. Whilst it can be used in an A4000 it will only promote screens with a colour depth of 12bit or less, be warned."

Ow, well... the only way to fit it would probably be to desolder the gfx port, get hold of a prot with legs pointing stright back from and solder some whires across. That way you could get the port lower "on the card" so it fits the A4000 backplane.
