Super Clean 4000T on eBay

[drwho]

Jeff,

To answer your question, yes, SoftHut still has A4000T's for $1299.00, I was in the market for one not too long ago and inquired with them. I know he has them in stock. :-D

Thanks,
Mike

@drwho: Are they totally stock or do they have anything more in them?

I am after a Commodore A4000T (Not the AT one), will pay top dollor for one.  Anyone here have one?  I never met anyone that does.

[Tahoe]

I do, apart from the case. My motherboard and all daughterboards are labeled C=, not Amiga Technologies...
Now all I have to find is the casing...  :-D

[X-ray]

@ TJLazer

There is a user here who has an original CBM A4KT. IIRC he took it out of the case and put the case in his loft. Can't remember who it is, but I remember clearly that he didn't want to sell it.

Well I think the AT A4000T is UNGLY!  I would love to get a hold of the CBM one. It looks awesome.  Is the AT and CBM MB the same form factor?

[X-ray]

Come on, the AT A4KT is a lot of things, but it certainly isn't UNGLY  :-P

There never was a AT m/b, they just used C= stuff. Mine has C= logos all over it.
The tower is the exact same one, with a different front panel/bezel, and yes, the C= looks waaaay better.

The AT A4000T is indeed big and ugly, and the lack of 3.5" bays does annoy me, but it has got plenty of space inside

C= 4000T and AT 4000T are exactly the same thing except the case design.

Functionality of both cases is the same, however as most people like to mention, the C= case is a little bit better looking than the AT case.

The cases were produced by the same company for C= and AT, which was Enlight.

Actually, you can say that everything is exactly the same except the front bezel. :-D

So even if one were to acquire a C= 4000T, it would still be just as (un)functional as the AT 4000T. :-D

[X-ray]

Am I the only one who thinks the AT version looks better than the CBM version?

[x56h34]

You may be right X-ray. Everyone is definitely blinded by the whole "genuine C=" thing, I guess. :-) That and the fact that only about 300 of the C= models were sold. :-o

[TjLaZer]

The CBM one is very sexy and has curves!  The AT one is boring and OEM looking!

[x56h34]

So far I have stumbled upon at least 6 different front bezels for that same Enlight tower, found used with old PC AT motherboards. Some without the door design and some with the door design.

Perhaps one day I'll find the same one as what C= used. :-)

I assume this stuff isn't exactly widely available? Or?
If you have any links and/or images, I would really appreciate them.

@PaSha:

Unfortunately not. :-(

I either saw a used tower case on eBay, which was of the right Enlight form-factor as it looked identical to the A4000T case, or I saw a used full-tower case being sold locally at a used computer parts shop (more like a garbage dump as most of the stuff is in really poor condition). I'd gladly pick one up for myself just as a spare, however in most cases these towers were heavily damaged and scratched up. I only managed to run into one tower with a complete front bezel of a different type, compared to the C= or Escom design that wasn't smashed up, however that bezel looked as TjLazEr would say...really too OEM PC like, so I passed on picking it up.

[Legerdemain]

Actually... this was new to me; the difference in the casing between the AT and the C= versions of the A4000T. How embarassing. I have never noticed, but now it is really obvious. And I have to agree with those that prefer the C= version of the casing, it feels way more timeless than the rather harsh and squarish AT one.
