Well yeah it is all good.....you see yes I could heavy mod my A1200, and yes I could put the A1200 in a tower, but by the time I have done that I just aswell get an A4000 and work on that. My A1200 needs a CD-Rom Drive, and if I go PCMCIA SCSI, then I can't use that at the same time as a network card......A4000 seems the way to go......and by the way what type of RAM do they use and how easy it is to get hold of cards for the Zorro's? Never got this far before......

This one looks nice.

I've been watching this all week. I think it will go for around £400 which is out of my price range at the moment - but yes it does look nice, and only a couple hours away so I can pick it up........the other one on ebay doesn't look so nice, and no CDR etc.......hmmmmm......like my kids I'm shouting....I want it.....I want it.....pleeaaaaasssseeee!!!!

Yep, about the time you joined up here, was someone about 1 km away from me, who didn't want to send it and was just looking for a good home for it as he had a baby on the way.
So I donated some for the little one.
Full spec 4000, so with 16MB, superbuster 11, kick 3.1 e.t.c, standard 030 card.
Bunch of keyboards including a Micronik, which came in handy later when I got a Micronik tower.
VC3 video editing system, some aminet cd's, books, a few Philips monitors and on and on.
 
Was really lucky with that one, my first A4000 went for 250 euro and also the Micronik tower was 250.
Then came that almost free one.
The last one is a very clean 4000 sold by Mad_Cat_Jr (Amibay/Amigascene.nl) and full caps and simm slot workup by our legendary Amiga-Digital (Amibay/Amigascene.nl) for 300.

Thanks all for helping me with my decision...

I have a opportunity to by a A4000T with goodies for way less than that one on ebay went but I was dragging my feet because I was having a hard time justifying spending the money since I have a couple of A4000D's.  

I thinks I'm gonna do it! :)

It has a Cyberstorm 040 inside it so just use Blizkick to run 3.1 from Fast RAM.
