Hi everyone. I've decided to re-live my old Amiga days (and maybe start a bit of a classic computer collection) by getting an Amiga 1200. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be many of them in the US, at least the pickings are slim on eBay.
What I'd really like is a clean, working, North American Amiga 1200 with no yellowing plastic or case damage, preferably the original Commodore version, not the Enscom version. Having original manuals, disks, and box in good condition would be a big plus but not necessary. Upgrades like an internal hard drive and extra RAM/CPU would also be a plus, as long as they don't affect the external look of the machine and maintain good compatibility.
Here's a good example of what I'm looking for from the UK eBay:

I noticed there's an online store called "AmigaKit" that builds Amiga 1200's to order - does anyone know where they get their stuff from? What's the difference between "refurbished" and "new old stock"?
Thanks in advance!
