Which should I keep? (A1200 vs A4000D)
« on: January 19, 2004, 05:41:16 PM »
Well, my original plans have changed and instead of updating the computers any more I am really in a position to sell one off (it's taken all of my will power, and the weak US dollar, to withstand the special offers from Elbox really...).  

A4000D/2M CHIP/16M FAST
Cyberstorm Mk2/060-66MHz/128M FAST
HD Floppy
DKB A4091
ACard SCSIDE w/IBM 40GB HD (not installed yet but waiting)
Yamaha 12x IDE CD-RW
ScanMagic Internal SD/FF
A2065

A1200/2M CHIP
Blizzard 060-50MHz/SCSI/128M FAST
HD Floppy
20GB Hitachi/IBM 2.5" IDE
ScanMagic Internal SD/FF
PCMCIA NIC
Bigfoot P/S

So, what do you think?
Time to move on.  Bye Amiga.org.  :(

Just to clarify, I'm not really hurting for money.  It's just that I'm going to be a father in less that 90 days. :-o  So, I'm just clearing out the things that I don't or can't use regularly.   (I also have an A3000/040, A600, and an A1200 that I built out of spares...  All except the A3000 will probably be on the chopping block some day)

Looks like the A4000 is wining.  I've never considered towering the A1200.  Maybe I'd tower the A4000 or get a 4000Di.  The thing that drew me to A1200 was the form factor, portableness (is that a word?) and the fact that I can plug it into the TV if needed.  The only reason I got the A4000 was to get PCI.  And, well you guys know how it goes...

I've already removed the battery from the A4000.  Some day I'll get around to adding it back.

Oh well, keep the opinions coming.

Ok, I decided to keep the A4000.  And, since it was the last day of Elbox's sale, I decided to take advantage and get the 4000Di.  This will give me an excuse to use the Voodoo 5500 and SB128 I've been hanging onto for a few years.

I'm debating what to do with the A1200, but for sure the A600 and my backup A1200 (standard) will be up for grabs.  PM me if interested.  I still don't know wether I will sell the A3000.  It's not the fastest of the bunch anymore, but I bought it new so it's got some sentimental value.

Oh, you poor thing.  If I were you, I would dump the woman and kid and keep both of your Amiga computers.  Women and children cost too much and what do men actually get out of it?  Yes, keep both of your computers and dump the woman and kid.     :-D


Heh, finally a good option.  Unfortunately, she gets half...   :-D
