A500 with RAM expansion and RTC. An external 3.5" and an external 5.25" floppy drives, C= 1081 monitor, Citizen B&W dot matrix printer.

The 5.25" disks were cheeper + it reminded me of my C= 1541-II drive.
Still have all of it.

Amiga 500 with 512 kB + Clock expansion (total 1 MB), 1084s Monitor, external 3.5" floppy drive, external 5.25" floppy drive (much cheeper disks at the time), a track-ball of some kind (much better for graphics), and some QuickShot and QuickJoy joysticks.

I remember salivating at the A3000 that year, I can't remember the last time I desired a computer that much. In '92 I was going to spend big (big for me) on expanding my A500, GVP+ 20 MB HD w/ 8 MB RAM, 2.04 ROMs, a printer, maybe an accelerator. Then the sales guy at my local Commodore reseller tells me to hold off for the A1200. Best decision I ever made.
