For a nice condition machine, with all the stuff included, I don't think its bad at all.

I guess if you compare to buying a new pc its expensive for what you get but to hell with that.

Aren't there heat issues with 040s in the wedge case or is that exaggerated?

Yeah I'm crossing my fingers on one of my 4 LCDs works.  My first add-on I'm thinking is a PCMCIA network card at amikit. I think it's around $36. Would tracking down a subway USB make more sense?  Oh and depending on the hard drive life one of those IDE to CF adaptors.


I have wireless internet on my 1200. It was a royal bitch to set up, but that may just be my incompetence :)

Its fun to have though. CF adapter is great too, both IDE and PCMCIA

The power supply may very well be the culprit. The A1200 power supply isn't really up to snuff, except for a pretty basic system with very little expansion. An A500 supply will work a bit better. Amigakit sells some solid ones as well.

I actually use the case conversion one. Its ugly sitting on the desk but it works flawlessly.
