I got rid of most of my Amigas and kept just one:

A4000D/030 @25MHz
Cyberstorm MkI 040/40 with 128MB RAM
Blizzard PPC 040/33 w/603/200 with 192MB RAM (in the mail)
15GB WD IDE HDD
52X Lite-On CD ROM Drive
Mediator 4000Di
 PCI   Realtek 8139 10/100
 PCI   Voodoo3 2000 (still not working.. grrr)
 Zorro GVP HD+8 SCSI Controller (for my Zip Drive)
Dell 2000FP 20" Flat Panel LCD Monitor (works with native Amiga modes)

Emulation just isn't the same. Might be willing to sell the MkI after I am sure that I am happy with the BPPC.

2 or 3 of each of the 68k models (just missing A600 and A3000T), couple of Cyberstorm PPC/060's, plus Amiga Forever/WinUAE.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

Guess I should have included my models in my post too...

A4000D 040/25MHz (hoping soon to slap a faster CPU/Ocsillator in)... 16MB Fast (superglued in) 2MB chip (duh) 64MB CF2IDE flash on DH0:... GVP HC+8 w/ 8MB Other RAM, 4GB SH0: and cartrige style CD0:. 3.1 ROMs

A2000HD nearly stock, 1MB Chip RAM, 000/14MHz, GVP HC+8 8MB Other RAM, Apple 2GB DH0: and CD0: yanked from an old Mac I stripped out. 3.1 ROM

A500 stock w/ A501. 2.04 ROM

2x Dead A1200 boards, 1 works for a few minutes (bad CIAs/PAULA). 3.1 ROMs

Numerous WinUAE configurations.

No PPC Amigas, tho somewhere in my collection of stuff is a couple of Mac PPC CPUs... A 603 and an XLR8 604e.

A4000D, A3640 OC-36.3MHz, custom tower, Mediator A4000D. Diamond Banshee 16M, Indivision AGA 4000, GVP HC+8.

Mac Mini 1.5GHz, that might run MorphOS someday, when the fools who own it come to the realization that 30 minutes just isn\'t enough time to play with it enough to decide whether or not you like it enough to cough up $200.

 - Someone please design SOME kind of DIY accelerator for the A4000. :D -

I use WinUAE-only for my Amiga fix.

Up until recently I had an A1200/030@40Mhz and 2 working A500's both with 1Mb and KS1.3&2.X.  But as time went on the real machines were pushed of the desk by PC's and ended up in storage.  After a couple of years grace, it was clear to me I wouldnt be using them again so I gave the 500s away and sold the 1200 to an Amiga newbie, CompSci student who gets to discover the platform afresh, lucky him!

Here in Aus, Amiga upgrades are still very rare and expensive so the PPC route was never an option for me.
