Fs: A3000t '030

[orb85750]

OT: I've never understood why people say A2000 is ugly. I really like it, it has this industrial, solid feel and it's built like a tank. I prefer it to both the A3000D and A4000D.

I suppose you feel that industrial equipment is attractive?  If so, I can see why you might prefer an A2000 over an A3000 -- or for that matter, over the gorgeous A1200.

a4000d case just looks like a cheapo PC.
a1200 is great, but still looks like a regular keyboard. On that range, I would choose Sinclair Spectrum
or one of those msx models:

I don't know - A3000D and A1000 look like computers for pussies - so small with very limited expansion possibilities
Not that I would need to compensate for anything with the size of my computer's case

I have a pretty pimped A4000D (once I get that elusive Cyberstorm off eBay) and I really like the system, but I'm thinking about selling it and just getting a A2000 even though I would lose AGA, Z3, PCI etc. Or just get the case and put some PC mobo inside of it...

For industrial looks, I hardly think anything can beat a fully expanded TI-99/4A system.

I'd go with "jigsaw puzzle" more than industrial looks.  Thanks for reminding me I have one of those to leave out for the trash man.

Haha, now that's what I call expansion!  Literally!
