If you intend to upgrade it ( as you will want to if you want to do anything other than play gamesl with it), I would recommend you get one that is already upgraded. ideally you would want an 040 or better an 060 accelerator, 32 meg ram, graphics card preferably in a tower system. it will cost you less to do it now rather than buying an unexpanded A1200 and expanding it yourself. And new hardware is getting harder to find
