Amiga 3000(D) (European 220-240 Volt)
- 68030/25 MHz with FPU 68882 16 MB FAST/2 MB CHIP
- Motherboard 9/03, Daughter Board 7/01 (both newest revisions)
- 318069-03 FAT AGNUS 8372B (PAL/NTSC)
- SCSI WD33C93A-PL 00-08
- Kickstart 3.1 (v40.68)
- 390541-07 45-RAMSEY
- 390537-04 65-SUPER DMAC
- 390539-11 45-SUPER BUSTER
- 390540-02 41-FAT GARY
- 16 MB FAST RAM ZIPs in FAST PAGE MODE and is fully populated, CHIP RAM 2 MB - a total of RAM: 18 MB.
- FastATA MK-VI 4000
- ST320014A 20 GB Seagate IDE HDD
- Two CHINON FB354 Floppy disk drives 3.5" DD 880 KB (A3010) with original A3000 eject buttons
- Village Tronic Ariadne II NIC with 10BASE-T

I've built this A3000 to be as original as possible with the latest revisions of all custom chips, cleaned it up (Retr0bright) and put in new capacitors and battery. There had been some leaks from the previous battery but it's fully cleaned up professionally.
Although the SCSI-chip is the latest revision it has its limitations so I decided to put in a FastATA MK-VI 4000. Installed on the HDD is AmigaOS 3.9 with BB2 and ClassicWB OS39 (BB3/BB4 is not official and does no good at all in this system configuration).
Genesis (registered) needs to be reconfigured to a proper IP in  your own network (if you tell me a free valid IP in your own network I  can pre-configure it, e.g. 192.168.1.40 for example). Direct access to  the Amiga is made through the installed AExplorer (shareware) which needs Amiga Explorer set-up on the PC-side. Both Genesis and AExplorer auto-starts at boot up.
The Power and HDD LED was totally trashed when I got this so I've  soldered the LEDs in place and soldered cables on it because the LED-PCB  was too damaged. The HDD-LED is now connected to the FastATA controller.
The fan in the PSU is new with the same CFM as the original but with lower dB.
The Floppy case cover is not mounted on the newest pictures but I will include it in the package.
The screenshot with the "7.303.040 other mem" was made before the RAM upgrades.
STATIC COLUMN MODE vs. FAST PAGE MODE: SCM is a bit faster in a A3000 but is way harder to get and also much more expensive. Mounted in this A3000 is FPM.
A Commodore Original Tank Mouse and a Swedish Keyboard is included in this package. A3000 KEYBOARD SWEDISH: 313323-10 - Retr0bright gone a bit wrong on the keyboard but it's fully cleaned inside and working as new.)
The monitor in the pics is not included in the package.

I will preferably sell this as a complete package but can be made cheaper by replacing/removing one/several/all of the following parts:
- Replace: 16 MB FAST (FPM)/2 MB CHIP --> 4 MB FAST (SCM)/2 MB CHIP (less FAST RAM BUT in faster mode SCM) (-130€)
- Replace: 318069-03 FAT AGNUS 8372B --> Older version of 318069-03 FAT AGNUS 8372B (-15€)
- Replace: SCSI WD33C93A-PL 00-08 --> SCSI WD33C93A-PL 00-04 (-15€)
- Replace: Kickstart 3.1 (v40.68) --> Commodore A3000 Kickstart 1.4 (you need 3.1 to boot from the the FastATA) (-30€)
- Replace: 390541-07 45-RAMSEY --> 390541-04 51-RAMSEY (-20€)
- Replace: 390539-11 45-SUPER BUSTER --> 390539-07 71-SUPER BUSTER (-20€)
- Remove: 390537-04 65-SUPER DMAC (you need to buy another cheaper revision to use the A3000) (-50€)
- Remove: one Chinon FB354 880 KB Floppy Drive (-28€)
- Remove: both Chinon FB354 880 KB Floppy Drives (-57€)
- Remove: Seagate HDD (-10€)
- Remove: FastATA MK-VI 4000 (-120€)
- Remove: Ariadne II (-120€)
- Remove: Mouse (-28€)
- Remove: Keyboard (-50€)

Bidders that bids on the whole package/more parts intact/not replaced/removed have precedence. (Hope this is not against the rules)

Price examples below does not include shipping/paypal fees:
850€ ($1100) or bids for the whole package.
424€ ($554) Replace RAM, Agnus, WD33C93A-PL, Ramsey,  Buster with earlier revisions and remove one FDD, Ariadne II, Mouse,  Keyboard and still get a working system as described above with  AmigaOS3.9 CWB but without network access.
264€ ($345) Replace RAM, Agnus, WD33C93A-PL, Ramsey,  Buster, Kickstart with earlier revisions and remove one FDD, the HDD,  FastATA, Ariadne II, Mouse and Keyboard and still get a working system  though without HDD and OS, but fully working booting with floppy and can  softkick Kickstart 1.3 through 3.1 with the original A3000 Kickstart  1.4.
185€ ($243) Replace/remove all options above.

Parts are NOT sold separately as of yet.

700 Euros?

Wow, my A3000 is a much better specced machine than that (no offence intended).

Based on that price mine is worth at least double.

Part of me is tempted to sell....
Yes, Euros. No offense taken =) What are your specs, is it recapped and re-oiled as well ;)? It's not easy to sell a well build system, it's easier and probably more profitable to sell it as parts, specially NIC, ATA and some chips, I've seen for instance the 04 SUPER DMAC sold for over 150€, Ariadne II for 200€ and the FastATA is 150€ new. ZIPs are also very expensive, and A3010 with the original buttons too.
