FREE: Amiga 500 tower setup

[TheMagicM]

A local dude here in San Antonio gave away a Amiga 500 tower kit.  I didnt want to see it thrown away and I did not want to take it apart to sell it in pieces.  I want to give it to someone who would appreciate it and use it.  Now, I will NOT SHIP, PERIOD.  You come and get it.  If nobody wants it, I'll leave it in storage w/my other Amiga systems.

Here's some info on it:

Darn... I wish I could go pick it up... :-(

Lucky the one who gets it!

Cheers

This was one of the first Amiga projects I found online when I started messing with Amiga stuff. Definitely worth a bit of a trip to pick it up, bit too far even for me though.

But Dragster, you are in Mexico, and that's right next door to Texas, right?

Tom Weeks finally getting rid of the A500 Tower? Too bad. That thing is famous IMO. I spent many an hour back in the 90's looking over that page and his documentation on Aminet dreaming of doing my own Tower project. I finally started doing my own projects back in late 03, starting with a 3000 tower conversion. Most recently I have my 128 Tower conversion, seen in my avatar. Tom was a major inspiration.

I hope it goes to a good home, someone who doesn't split it up. Free is a steal for this slice of history.

Darn... 1362 miles each way is too much of a drive...

Oh, man. That site and system are legendary to folks like me. How many times I visited his page over the years for hacks and note comparisons as I built up my amiga boxes. If it wern't such a ridiculous distanace for me, that system would be warming my desktop this evening. Does Tom plan to vacate the site too?

Boy I'd love to have it, but unfortunately too far for me too.

Only 3 hours for me now that I'm back in H-Town for Grad School. Hmm....... and I do have a spare 500 that I'm doing nothing with.....

I dont know what Tom is going to do with his site.  I didnt ask, he's a busy guy w/various projects goin on.  Yea, I've seen this tower at a few Amiga meetings (when we used to have them).  Its awesome.  If nobody takes it, it wouldnt matter, I'd keep it

[recidivist]

I hope Tom leaves his site up ;if someone could archive it on a DVD that would be cool.Probably a lot of sites go away without anyone  saving the arcane info.

ok, I changed my mind.. I'll TRADE it for a Mac Mini G4.  I'll pay shipping (USA) on this monster, you pay shipping in yours.  

I just dont have time to mess with my Amiga stuff (no motivation)..but I would mess around with a Mac Mini.
