Total Amiga newbie looking to learn more

[SlickDizzy]

Hello out there, I'm new here. I've been fooling around with computers of various OS'es and platforms for quite a while, but I've never owned an Amiga. After fooling around with a few emulators, I think I'd like to make the jump and buy a real piece of hardware, for the purpose of some gaming and possibly some music editing.

I guess I'll ask right off the bat, what would be a good Amiga box to start with? I've been looking at 1200's because they seem pretty cheap and plentiful, but if there's a better option, let me know.

Thanks all!:)

Thanks! I was originally looking for a 1200 but I've found a complete Amiga 500 system for sale locally, apparently works and comes with "tons of accessories"...I can probably get it for $20. Is this a pretty good deal?
