Amiga 4000D mobo hard to find?
« on: August 24, 2004, 07:54:36 PM »
I may be buying a A4000D case/psu/kb/mouse for a good deal..now I need the stuff that makes it all work.. the motherboard.. lol.  How hard are they to come by and how much?  I'd probably also get a A3640 cpu and a gfx card.  I've always wanted the flagship Amiga but never really did get one.

LOL.  the A2000 is just a A500 w/a few extra slots and a bulky case.. j/k

I've had a few A3000's and they are awesome but if I'm gonna spend some money, might as well get the machine I've always wanted..

well, I wouldnt mind getting a 060, but thats going to cost a arm and a leg... a Warpengine would be cool though.  I thought A3640 cause I've seen 'em go as cheap as $50 USD on ebay.  

kd7ota: I *had* a few A3000's..sold 'em all.. now I only have a collection of A500's, lots of software, add-on hardware etc.

Cyberus: so what are you saying, you got one for me to buy for cheap?  :-P

TjLaZer: I looked at the auction just now.. what a STEAL!!!!!  At the time I wasnt really actively looking but man, that was one heck of a deal :(  I have quite a few AmigaWorld, and Amiga in general magazines.. funny how cheap you can pick up this stuff (sometimes).

No, I meant the A4000.  :-P    Honestly if it wasnt for the A4000 I'd pick a A3000 over the A2000.  

Correct me if I'm wrong..but if you put the same cpu card in a A2000 and one in the a3000, the 3000 would come out on top, power wise.  Now it doesnt have as much room as the A2000 and I dont believe a toaster 2000 will fit in the a3000 with the case on but thats another story.  They do have a toaster 4000 card that works w/the a4000.    

But we're not talking A3000 vs A2000..   A4000 vs A2000..A4000 would just straight up DOM-I-NATE.  And that case the a4000 has..sexy.  I cant wait to dim the lights and sloooowwwllly take that case off...and...and... nevermind..
