I recently got a legal copy of AMithlon and wanted to know, would anyone buy a few equipped desktops? they'd be running PIII or higher, with at least 20G drive and I could dual boot with XP/2000, add a PCI NIC, and they would use some ATi video boards. All would have at least 256 meg ram. I'd load BB1,2 and 3. These would be nice and fast "fake classic amigas". Just to let newbies to amithlon know, it doesn't emulate custom chips, so no software needing these would be usable. Any RTG and AHI complaint software will work, and it is compatible with Wazp3d, a CPU only warp 3d implementation. The price would be around $150~250 USD, maybe less.


Piracy issues aside, people can find their own crap PIII machines for a whole lot less than $150.

Your time and effort isn't worth $140.

I'm still looking into total cost, but depending on the setup, $70~100


You can probably count out most non-North American buyers, which is probably the majority of Amiga.org.  Shipping would be more than you're asking for the machines, literally.  Even members across the country would be looking at shipping costs higher than they could locally obtain a low-end machine for.
