Greetings

Well, I went for it in the end :-)

I got it for £275 but got some extra software thrown in along with various manuals.

Looking at recent prices on ebay, I think it is a reasonable price.  Bargain - perhaps not.  But its an Amiga 1200 in Power tower case with PPC card (albeit 040 160mhz) with BVision graphics card.  Happy Days !

Congratulations, at least it's a decent setup :-) Have had a lot of fun from using my A1200T with the same expansions (and a few extras).

As for the price; if you are happy with it, who cares about the price??

Maybe you should have waited until the end of the auction to get it cheaper.:evil:

Maybe - but bearing in mind that I asked the Seller if he would add a buy it now price BEFORE there were any bids and the conversation went from there, I am still reasonably happy with the price.

Not quite right. There were 10 bids on the tower before the auction had ended early.

It's not very fair on all the others who were bidding and watching. Don't you think? :madashell:

You misunderstood - there were no bids when I asked the Seller if they would add a buy it now - and the conversation went from there.  All perfectly innocent.  I wasn't out to try and dupe anyone - there was no-one bidding at the time.
A little unfair and un-called for but I can understand your point of view.

By the way, I was referring to your comment being a little unfair and uncalled for, just for the record ! :-)

The FACT IS that I asked the question before anyone was bidding.  It was a fair enough question at that time.  Because the seller continued the discussion after bids had been placed is not my fault.  I was not keeping an eye on who was bidding by that time.
Your inference that I have been unfair to other bidders and people watching is what I am objecting to.  This is NOT FACT. OK ?  Enough said !!!

Hi - just read the policy on using capitals, or rather not using capitals !  

Please accept my apologies for shouting in my previous reply !!!   :-(

Well, now you've got it have fun with it :)
I have a 233MHz 603e here... Haven't built it yet, waiting for a few other parts to arrive..

Got the motherboard, drives, cables etc all ready.. waiting for a busboard to arrive then I will be designing and making a custom case to go with it...

I hope you'll enjoy your purchase :)

Edit: Anyway.. I guess you could still plug it into a TV using the composite connector to play games?

An odd number to overclock to. As long as it works :-)

Well, I bought it like this... and it does seem to be that speed (when I tested it briefly)

When I put it into it's nice, new, shiny, custom made case it'll have a load of cooling on it :D

It's only an 040 one which will slow things down a little... but it's largely so I can have a play with a PPC amiga...

If I really wanted to I'd send it to the amiga center in france and have it modded to an 060.. but I'm not that bothered about it really...

Can you tell me more about the Amiga Centre in France and what they can do with an 040 PPC card ?  

Thanks ...
