A4000D motherboard
« on: April 06, 2008, 12:00:58 PM »
Hi all,

I think my chances of getting a complete original A4000 system within my budget are nil, so I was thinking of buying a motherboard from a 4000d and then sourcing a case etc. for it...
My question is, what cases other than the original could I put the mobo in other than the original?

I thought about doing that, but by the time you have bought the case, daughter card, cpu card and everything you need...you could source a complete A4000D for the same.


Bugger! Why does logic always have to win?  :-D

I bought a 2000 off one of the other Aussies on here, should arrive sometime this week and I'm itching to get it going!

Sell off all your other Amiga stuff and you can afford an A4000D.

They are only about £150 for an A4000/030


Hmm... The mobo I was looking at has a starting bid of $100 Aus which I guess is roughly £50 so all of a sudden it's not looking that cheap

@Xamiche

I think probably Friday, I'm convinced my local postie hoards mail and delivers once a week!

I was handling the wait pretty well until I read your post ! Do you have to make it sound so good?   :lol:
