Personally if I wanted an expanded Amiga the model I would choose depends on whether I had a need for 24bit graphics, 16bit sound, VLAB Y/C or VLAB PAR, GVP Impact Vision 24 etc etc or not.

Also the keyboard on the 500 600 and 1200 is quite bad....probably worse than the cheapest PC keyboards I've ever used in my life.

And towering an 1200 is a headache too.

Hi,

Don't know I towered mine, went pretty smooth, used old server case I had laying around, now I remember why I shut down that server, it had a weak power supply.

I have a lyra 2 keyboard adapter (AmigaKit) works great, and if I wanted I could use expensive PC keyboards on my Amiga. I especially like the one where you could program the keys and program the actual letters and stuff on them, that way you could program a key to have a lit up Amiga "A" key on the keyboard, saving my pennies know for one, they only cost $1500, is that expensive enough for you.

I just meant finding all the bits to tower an A1200 cheaply in one place was probably a headache. If you do though best to get a nice A1500/2000/3000/4000 keyboard :)

I think the general concensus is (without doing another survey), as far as classics go, the A1200 with a good accelerator is a handy little machine.  I agree.  I'd get an indvision too if I didn't have 2 LCD monitors that work at 15k and VGA.
It's not hard to get on the A1200 banned wagon, err, hem, bandwagon, sorry.

Ahh the serenity..TG...


I would agree with that given the very reasonable ACA cards out now.
