New to the Amiga Scene and thought I would say hello...

[AmigaFan]

I am new to Amiga and am thinking of getting one in the very near future. I was wondering what is a good configuration to start out with? I am mainly looking at it for gaming and would like it to have it's own monitor. What do you recommend for a starter package? How much do systems go for?

Thanks!

Thank you everyone for the input. I will start looking for an A1200 with HDD and more RAM.

I went to the site for AmigaKit and the power supply states only UK. I need to locate a US power supply, correct?

@Argus:

So look for an A3000 with at least 8MB of RAM and what else? How big of a HDD should I get? I have a 21" SVGA monitor, could I use that on the A3000? Can you please give me specs and the best place to buy such a setup?

Thanks!

So it sounds like I will need to make sure I get the following:

Amiga 3000HD
Accelerator of some kind
Lots of RAM
SCSI CD-ROM
Graphics option/upgrade
VGA/SVGA output of some kind
Mouse

or:

Amiga 500
Amiga 500 Hard Drive
Lots of RAM
Accelerator of some kind
Amiga RGB Monitor
Mouse

What else as I used to have a 500 and miss it alot. So what kind of price am I looking at here for the above configs? A ballpark figuer would be nice so I know how much to save.

Thanks!  Is the A500 still a viable option nowadays? Maybe I will just go for a loaded A1200 HD of some kind.
