Are the Elbox tower and mediator products worth it?

I love my Mediator and Mirage setup. Sure it was about $550USD for the tower and the mediator, but for $50 more I got a 10/100 Ethernet, Voodoo 3000, FM801 based sound card (awsome, way better then the SB128), and a cheap TV card all on ebay as a bundle. If I got the same type of stuff made just for Amiga it would have been lots more. The cool thing about my A3000 is its built in flicker fixer. I dont have to use two monitors like others, just a cheap VGA box. I use my Amiga as my sole computer at home now. I havent touched the PC in months.

since the limitations of the A3000D's overall design is a real pain (only 4 Zorro slots?! And what were they smoking when they thought up the case?!).

But remember the A4000/3000 mediator is great for Zorro users too. It has 7 full zorro III slots and a Video slot as well as the PCI slots. So if you just wanted a better video card, and a good cheap sound card its a deal.

I've had no encouragement to buy any other product's. I think their support sucks.

Thats a shame, I've never had any problems with Elbox at all. The RDB this didnt bother me since I wasnt interested in messing with the drivers. Every time I have a question they have got back to me withen a few days. They even called me when I needed help setting up my Mediator the first time.
