Thanks for posting the links, it explain that some a3000's will not work with the 040 and 060 accelerators. SO now I do not care anymore for the a3000, i will just save my money for an amiga 4000. Thanks !!!

I think you've made a good decision.  I have an A2000, A3000 and A4000.  In all honesty, the only advantage the A3000 has is the built-in scan doubler.

I just stick to my A4000 now and I added a 64MB 68040/40 card to replace the original 68040/25 (plus an extra 18MB on the motherboard).

With the A4000 I had a high density floppy and room to add an internal CD ROM (have fun trying to fit an internal CD ROM in an A3000).

I don't know how much you're planning on spending, but I recommend the following:

Scan Doubler (either internal or external - I have an internal)
Deneb USB 2.0 card - unleash the potential and use this to add an Ethernet dongle and to read memory sticks.
Zorro SCSI card - I added an Elbox Flyer and attached the DVD ROM and 2 x 80GB Hard Drives.  The internal IDE header is still available, but is unused.

I've also crammed in a Cybervision 64/3D card mainly for surfing the Net and an Emplant board for Mac Emulation which I haven't set up yet.
A2000, A3000, 2 x A1200T, A1200, A4000Tower & Mediator, CD32, VIC-20, C64, C128, C128D, PET 8032, Minimig & ARM, C-One, FPGA Arcade... and AmigaOne X1000.
