Holy Cow! My X1000 arrived today in USA !!!

[amigasociety]

Wow, I was not expecting it until tomorrow, Friday the 3rd, at the earliest.

Even Fed/X website showed it just leaving Memphis TN yesterday so I thought the 3rd would not even happen and be more like next week via ground service.

This shipped on Monday from the Amigakit in UK and arrived just 3 days later to my home.

Wow, is that awesome or what.

I guess Fed/X is using a super fast AmigaOne X1000 to run their operations now because I sure received mine fast fast fast.  

Now, just need to find some time to open the box up.

Just a little video of the box and my excitement to just learn my AmigaOne X1000 arrived a day earlier than expected.  Will do more videos of unboxing later when I am able.

Thanks Piru and all other folks!

Would like to let you know I have a beefy Mac Mini G4 1.5GHz sitting right next to it with 3 matching external Hub/Drives (LaCie Mini & 2 MiniStacks) that will one day run MorphOS 3.  :biglaugh:

I have the timing out 2.7 on it now as I just started tinkering and when I am able, and 3.0 MOS is out, I will also have a MiniMOS system to enjoy side by side with my X1000.

Congratulations! While I personally don't consider X1000 viable solution I'm sure you will have ton of fun with it.

If you have any spare time could you please try to run a small benchmark for us? Here are the instructions:

• Download AKsack.wav
  
• Download lame.lha
  
• Unarchive lame.lha and then run the following command:
  Code: [Select]
  lame-398-4/bin/lame.g4-3.98.2 AKsack.wav
• Post the result here.

Thank you in advance!

*EDIT* No need to anymore, as Hans_ was kind enough to post the results here:

I have my X1000 running.  Uploading a unboxing video to YouTube.  As normal a bit dark in spots but will get the point across I am sure.  I need to get better lighting for my place as it seems pictures and video is either grainy or dark because of poor lighting.

Will post a link soon once upload is done.

I also made another one turning on the X1000 for first time but it is even darker.  My office seems to be the worst in the house for lighting.  Will have to see if iMovie can lighten up a whole video but doubt it does that so you may have to live with it.  :madashell:

Only issue I have is my case was dented.  Appears Fed/X or whomever had their paws on it during transit to USA dented the vase.  I see a puncture mark on both boxes and I have a nice quarter size ding on the right panel.  So, have to now work with Amiga kit to get that replaced.  I guess they will need to turn in a claim to carrier and all that crap.  So, hope they get it all resolved.  I spent enough cash where I want to have a pristine machine in front of me.  Will save the boxes and all that as proof so I should be covered.

Other than that blemish, she is a beauty!

Some Videos.  Nothing grand but I think express my excitement opening and starting up my X1000.

This is me unpacking the AmigaOne X1000 today.

Congrats on your x1000! I can see the joy and pride you have with your new hardware  

As a Morphos user i will probably never get to experience that

Not sure if you noticed in the video but I have a Mac Mini G4 1.5GHz MorphOS ready system with 3 external Mac Mini Drives under it for bookoo storage and hubs.

Therefore plan is to learn and use both OS 4.1 and MorphOS.

Best of both worlds.
