Stuff I am willing to trade for Amiga Hardware.

[Gwion]

I have a Xbox 360 in its original box with 15GB HD (i think) with Controller,USB charger and re-chargeable battery. And Fifa 2006 and Dead Rising. And all cables to connect to T.V and has PSU.

I also have a well upgraded RiscPC, Specs here : http://www.freewebs.com/riscpc

I am looking for a BPPC card for my A1200. And maby a BVision aswell.
Or a Amiga A4000/A1200/T with similar specs as the RiscPC (for a straight swap or extra cash or something)

[Gwion]

I have been offered a A1200 powered by a tower. It has loads and loadz of software and it has a
' Blizzard 1230-IV Turbo Board, with a 68030 CPU w/MMU & FPU running @ 50Mhz. A Blizzard SCSI-KIT IV is fitted to the expansion bus which does not load the CPU when in use. The two standard SIMM sockets can accept a total of 256mb but this unit comes with 32mb. Original boxes and manuals included. '

It has a CD drive, approximately 2.5GB HD and a 135w 'goliath' PSU
It has a Monitor aswell.
Do you think its worth trading it for my Xbox 360?

You do the math: what is the value of your offering in GBP and what should you pay for what he offers? Look on eBay for prices.

In short No!

[Gwion]

He want £180

If you really want to upgrade your amiga to a state where it will surf the net aswell as it can and offer you mp3 playback aswell as gaming, 3d work etc etc etc then just sell your xbox 360 and use that money to buy a better card for your amiga like a ppc. Cause it really does sound like your going to get bored with an 030 quick.

[Gwion]

Do you think anyone will swap the Xbox 360 for the a BPPC?
Or for a good 68K setup.
Or both/one for a good A1200T?

[nasty]

The problem you have just now is that OS4 has been released which is PPC only. Its just a case of playing the waiting game!

[Gwion]

I doubt no one will trade it for a PPC then.
Do you think the Xbox 360 and/just the 360 is worth this:

Or if now how much would i have to pay extra or waht would he need to take away for it the be equal??

Ok I'll say this for the last time:

I guess you're a bit clueless about what Amigas can offer you.

Think about what you want to do with your Amiga. I fear you will spend a lot of money on something that will not give you what you want. Even on a very high end Amiga doing modern stuff like browsing and other things can be a pain and for classic gaming you don't need a very high spec machine.

Now I'll shut up.

Dear Friend Gwion:

I would sell your xbox (and dont undersell...get the price that is worth)and use the money to get a accel card for your amiga. i would buy the accel card from amiga kit, this way you make sure you get a reliable card and don't have to worry about being ripped off by ebay scammers.
But if you want...you could always still buy from ebay, but be careful.These cards, on ebay, usually go from us$ 200 and up, all the way to us$500.
good luck!!!

Well i want to use Amiga for everything.
WinUAE is ok but emulation is slow and laggy compared to a proper amiga.
And i want to get a PPC to run OS4 and MOS on my A1200.
And if i traded my RiscPC/Xbox 360 for a good amiga and i didnt use the Amiga in the end i wouldnt mind (i dont use the Xbox 360 and RiscPC as it is)
But each time i disconnect my A1200 and not use it for ages i allways get a 'amiga craving' you all here should know what i mean

I guess you should stop using a Pentium 2 then and get yourself a decent pc.

My AMD XP2000+ runs in circles around my A4000T (040@40 MHz). If you have a Core2Duo or anything like that, there's not even use for comparisons anymore.

Read this post to see if it helps you out any :-)

Considering using Amiga as everyday system - questions!

 

[Gwion]

Everything seems ok for my use. and if i need something the amiga doesnt offer i can go on my iBook G3 700Mhz
