INTRUUUUUDER!!!!
Oh sorry.. old 1989 reflex there. Yknow.. ST vs Mig. Ahh the good old days, you just don't get the same with PC vs Mac today :D

Seriously now....Welcome aboard!

If you want to fool around with an oldschool Amiga like they were back in the days, an A500 or A1200 is best. A500 will offer maximum compatibility but they're getting a little expensive to upgrade due to the rarity of the pieces. A stock A1200 with some ram and HD won't break your budget and still offers you very good compatibility. And should you ever become an amiga nut, you can expand the crap out of it.

Me, I'm a bit like your evil clone. Yknow, the same, but reversed (no cartman-style goatee though). Meaning that I've been looking at STs lately. Any pointers for a newbie? :D

Yep!

In fact it is actually better to use an A500 PSU (60some watts) than the underpowered A600/1200 PSU (23 watts) if you plan on using a second disk drive, hd, accel and what not.
