The first one was offered @ 1200 euro's a few weeks ago, so what do you think ?
I think it's a no-go.
 
For this amount and a bit added you can buy an X1000.
And I wouldn't do it at all, I just go with another PC and run WinUAE.
 
I had a wanted ad on Amibay for a Cyberstorm 060/200 or 233 for 650 euro's, all of them where way above.
I'll wait for someone to take the cash.
 
Evilbay is just a place where a few friends make an account and price drive as non buyers and if your stupid enough you end up in there :roflmao:

And some Ford T model cars, cost more than some new SUVs
 
So? :confused:

Well lets have a little perspective here, cars like these are worth it because that has a bigger value to it because they are worth it (and some times not).
If you value a Cyberstorm and are willing to pay these amounts, go ahead.
But if I can get something better for it, which cost a bit less, then I'd go for that.
Just because a Model T has more value, doesn't mean you could use it as a daily driver.

I'd be really interested to know how many people would buy CSPPC if the cards were still available in large quantity and if they were not expensive.
Is there a recent poll on this subject?

Well I have 4 A4000's, so if they would sell it around 250 euro's, I would order 4 of them.
 
On the note that the 060 is in a socket joined with a current IBM PPC also inserted in a socket and no more simms on it, modern DDR ram.

Tht is ridiculous. I sold my CSPPC 6 or 7 years agor for about £250. Are these people insane?

That would be a more acceptable price yeah, I would even go a bit higher, but not much.
I also can't believe that people are willing to pay these amounts for a card that is more than 10 years old and it has quite a design flaw cause of the BGA if these go loose due to heat it's bye bye PPC.
So I'm going to sit back and wait untill someone offers me one below my limit.

That card did just over 760 dollar / 600 euro, so I guess my maximum of 650 euro isn't so bad.
