Sounds like a pretty darn good deal to me!

[4pLaY]

Sounds like theyre having troubles selling them.

[Ponos2D]

Could be!

Sounds like theyre having troubles selling them.

Cynical, but highly likely :-(

If I my old amiga Harware wasn't on it's last legs I would go for it.

Hey, 4, how about sending me an A4k so I have an excuse to buy one of these things  :-D

[AmiDelf]

Maybe in the future. Elbox will come up with the first real AmigaPPC computer. Who knows! And if you help them, they help you.

What on earth do you mean? do the words AmigaONE and Pegasos mean nothing to you  :-?  :-?  :-?

sometimes, I too visit that magical land... but then my Girl Friend brings me a nice cup of freshly brewed Latte... and I have to think about real llife again.  :-(

[ikir]

Wow! Great! A Spider for freee!!!!! :-o

[AmiDelf]

Yes, I am a custom Amiga fan.. and hehe.. it would be nice if Elbox made a custom Amiga based oppon SharkPPC, as that is a new computer in itself allready... Maybe something comes out, would you like to see such product? I will send the request back to Elbox if so.. They are a Amiga company... so.. Tell me..

[MrZammler]

No desktop A3k mediator, so.....  :-x

[bloodline]

I must say I'm looking forward to seeign a SharkPPC.

A Shark + a Meditator = PPC computer

You don't need an A4k or A1.2K Mobo, do you?

[Jaruzel]

I still think Mediators are too expensive overall.

All i need is a 1 PCI slot one, just for a Voodoo card, I  don't need 6 PCI slots.

hate to cross post, but you may not have gotten my e-bay auction announcement.  if you search e-bay for 'Power A1200'...

 you will see a whole system with Mediator included for 349, u.s. only, but occasionally you can pick up a used system cheap.  My feeling is you could pull off the mediator  and part out the rest and get your 349 back, maybe I should advertise it as a free mediator with purchase of Amiga Power Tower??? j ust kidding.

lowering prices is good.  Elbox is probably trying to increase their user base, as the more mediators sold, the larger the market for SharkPPC or just in general, the more money they make, on volume.

What would you consider a good sign, Elbox raises prices do to high demand!!!!

Seriously, I wonder what you all want sometimes....anyway, I don't want to engage in controversy, go buy my system!!! lol
