welcome!
If I where you I would wait and get this stuff on e-bay. When you say you want to use this computer as you main workstation I would have to warn you. I love amigas and spend LOTS of time working and PLAYING with them. I have 2 amigas a 3000er and 4000er, I have lots of extras like network cards, graphic cards, video and sound gear. Amigas are old, realy not good internet machines at all as they where developed before all that ever took off. They can be clunky for modern work. I'm glad I have a linux box and a windows box around to burn CD's(AND DVD'S), do 3d renders write e-mail, hookup up scanners and other practial stuff. Amigas ar fun for a hobby type usage but not cost effective as a regular computer. You will find that you can spend a serious amount of $ on amiga gear, for that same money you can get a NICE intel computer that will also run UAE ! (UAE is an amiga emulator that is VERY nice) Wait for the right time and grab a a1200 on ebay when the price is right, but know that is only the beginning if you plan on making that computer "modern" (lot's of $$$) and that the result is cool but still along shot from true modern technology. (sorry I can't read that MS office doc, ohh I can't see that flash banners (or flash ever for that matter) Java? USB? firewire? .net? YOu can do some ofthe things I mention here in the Amiga, but you won't WANT to..... The "classic: amigas will never become "modern" no matter how much hardware you put in there. The a1200 is even harder becasue it has NO SPACE... that being said the a1200 is one sweet amiga!
