You gotta love the A1000.  That was such a departure from what we had at the time.  A really nice design.

I have to agree that the towers lose some appeal because of PC's, but the 3000T is just such a beast that it adds a lot of character.

My all time favorite is the 3000D though.

As far as looks only 1000 hands down, then 3000d, but 2000 looks tougher than 3000 IMO (like it could hold a boatload of bad a$$ cards and the 300 can only hold those wimpy low profile stuff. Kinda like pc vs Ibm PC Jr.)


The 3000D holds full size cards.  They are sideways, just like the 4000D.

You can even fit a big old Toaster and Flyer in there.

Franko is more popular than the A2000s looks.


Franko is also an Amiga, but the A600 and A3000T aren't.

Yeah, I was going strictly on looks too.

For functionality give me a 4000T.  It's the newest, biggest machine, so why not?

But the 3000D is tough to beat on looks alone and it's built like a tank.  It's probably my second favorite for functionality too, even with only ECS.  Drop in an RTG card and fast CPU and it's one hell of a machine until it overheats ;)
