Thank you everyone for your input. I am now starting to understand what I need to look for in a machine. I really appreciate all your help!

Hi Fred........

How about a Killer A2000 ?

I have 2 A2000's that I'm going to list on EBay.
I have most all the extras and can set it up however
you want it from a GVP TecMagic 060@50 w/128 megs ram
and harddrive, CD Rom and which ever roms you want plus
a scan doubler/flickerfixer for your SVGA monitor.
Or scale it down to your wants.
The A2000 makes an excelent game machine.
If you're interested email me at ....

I agree about the A3000 space issues the case is not user friendly (the 1000 and 2000 had alot more room) and adding extra hard drives or an excelorator is almost impossible without modification. You should look for at the least an A3000 tower and it has so much more space and you automaticly get a SCSI controler and High density flopy drives. Plus 4 PC slots and both a 13kHz and a 15kHz (with built in flicker fixer) video out.
I used to have one but sold it when I upgraded to my preasent A4000D.

By the way the above A2000 would do you very well (nice system)

I emailed Melott for more details and price.

you can fit like 6 3.5" devices in the 3000d and fans to keep everything cool! you have to get a little goofy with power splitters and make brackets to hold drives on top of each other but they all easily fit.

ethernet, or zorro scsi, and video card and sound card all fit nicely, and if you dont have a video card you can still hook it up to any vga monitor.

in just the past year here on amiga.org i have seen dozens of posts for people looking for scan doubler/flicker fixers for their 1200s and 4000s and i just kick back with my 3000 hooked up to a huge svga monitor.

having aga missing is big, granted, but playing on a stable flicker free crystal clear screen more than makes up for it. many games were released for aga and ocs/ecs and many newer games had rtg versions also esp. 3d games.

i guess this means you can put my vote with the 3000 especially since i sold my 1200 to buy one, 4000s are pretty pricey even now.

just my 2 cents

or like 6 or 7 cents  :-D

Shouldn't that be 'What's wrong with an A2000?'   :-)

yeah, military spec and all that jazz

I love the A3000, it's quiet and really the machine C= most carefully built with all the fixins.  People complain it's hard to get into but I attribute that more to the great engineering that went into it.  The case is put together with such precision, you really get the impression it was well thought out by design.  Contrast that with the A4000, as the clunky top metal cover is a pain to seat properly.  Oh well, I like both, but the A3000 is my favorite. :roll:

"Shouldn't that be 'What's wrong with an A2000?'  "

the most loaded a2000 say with 060 accelerator etc still has a zorro2 bus thats like having a pentium or even 486 system with only isa bus.

zorro2 can only hit 3mb/sec transfer zorro3 is very close to pci bus capability

so if you say a loaded 3000 that could mean with a good accelerator and video card wich the a2000 cant take
