Call me insane if you like but I think I want an X1000 now :)

i think he is trying to do exactly what people are talking about here, to sell used item for a price of a new one. doesnt seem getting far with it.

The price of a new one (AFAIK it is still possible to order new ones) is said to be ~$3,000 USD. This guy is asking ~$4,000 USD (€3,000 EUR) for his used one sold as second hand. It seems he is expecting to earn a thousand bucks from letting a computer get a little older. :lol:

The only thing that would be more hillarious would be if someone actually bought it!

the machine, so far i have been aware of him posting about it, was barely used. he was so disappointed with it, or at least acted as such, that it is safe to assume, it must be as good as new.

Still it's second hand and not new. A new one should (besides being new) also be ~$1,000 cheaper. :lol:

I have no problems at all with second hand HW personally. Most of the OS4 crowd obviously does however, judging from all those "but its not new" comments as soon as someone talks about second hand Mac's for MorphOS. And this X1000 is second hand. At 33% overprice compared to the already insane price for new, unused ones. I just find this amusing, that's all!

Well, I have recently got one - AmigaOS ... 2GB FAST RAM ... Radeon 6800 HD series card

I am not saying I have bought X1000 to run AmigaOS 4, but that most things people joke about on OS4 (e.g. $2000 machine and not even a decent browser ...) can meanwhile be solved by dual boot. On same $2000 machine.

Then you should know better than anyone that it doesn't cost $2000. That system is over $3000 (which probably doesn't include tax or shipping (I think it's difficult to find info about that on amigakits webshop)).

Or $4000 if you don't want to wait up to a half a year and is going for the Polish second hand market instead! :lol:

... what AmigaOS can‚t at the moment and uses both cores, 3D accel and sees beyond 2GB RAM and 256MB VRAM (chip) :-)

And plus full utilization of hardware to the full (3D of RadeonHd, over 2GB RAM, dual core).

Looking forward to see and feel OS 4.2 as that was OS that was supposed to go with X1000 :-)

Yeah... SMP, >2GB RAM, etc...



Well, "Amiwest" will be more exciting than ever this year, won't it? (Like every year! :lol:)

... but picked X1000, because its most advanced Amiga like system I can have.

Oh really now?

:whack:
