You will like it a lot, but the Sound card you get MAY have the buggy chip on it. The SIIGs he included are good for ony one rev, and you have no way to know if its a bad one or not.

I put in a Soundblaster Live PCI (Model SB0200) I got for $7 and its perfect. MUCH better audio too. Its been playing all day now as of today and not a single issue or lockup as I was getting before.

I have been getting some lock ups from time to time playing videos. Do you think my sound card is also the issue? I thought it was Odyssey for the longest time. I might have to get that Sound Blaster too. '

Congrats on the x5000 by the way. I use mine everyday...

If you have that same SIIG mini sound card I would bet it is. Get the Soundblaster I linked before they are gone. Aaron just ordered 10 of them too.

They are all like new. I couldnt even tell if the one I got was used and dont think it ever was.

Does the SBlive Model SB0200 need drivers? Do you just plug and play?

Its just plug and play.

The more I use my X5000 the more I like it. OS4 and even 3.9 now runs faster than my 75mhz/410mhz CSPPC 4000T does. I haven't had anything fail on it that I regularly use and it a looks great. I can't for the life of me figure out why in the hell there's so much animosity towards it. Sure it's expensive, but it's a small run specialized system, not a high volume ineso it's to be expected.

The one thing I have taken away from owning an NG Amiga is toy can spend more on classic to get it setup to do what one of these can do out of the box, but still have a core of 30 year I'd hardware that will fail. Do yourself a favor and get an NG Machi eand keep a basic classic system for the games and that classic feel.

I’m very happy with it. Still getting my feet wet. There’s only one problem I’ve had...I just couldn’t get past the Fractal Designs case. Every time I looked at it it screamed “PEEEEE CEEEEE”. I had to swap it out. The Zalman NEO Z9 looks, to me, what this computer should be in. I need to find a large boing ball to put on the door.

Thats a great looking case!! I may just get that now!!

Sheesh, thanks for the money spent!
