Holy Cow! My X1000 arrived today in USA !!!

[amigasociety]

Thanks Piru and all other folks!

Would like to let you know I have a beefy Mac Mini G4 1.5GHz sitting right next to it with 3 matching external Hub/Drives (LaCie Mini & 2 MiniStacks) that will one day run MorphOS 3.  :biglaugh:

I have the timing out 2.7 on it now as I just started tinkering and when I am able, and 3.0 MOS is out, I will also have a MiniMOS system to enjoy side by side with my X1000.

@amigasociety

Congratulations! While I personally don't consider X1000 viable solution I'm sure you will have ton of fun with it.

If you have any spare time could you please try to run a small benchmark for us? Here are the instructions:

• Download AKsack.wav
  
• Download lame.lha
  
• Unarchive lame.lha and then run the following command:
  Code: [Select]
  lame-398-4/bin/lame.g4-3.98.2 AKsack.wav
• Post the result here.

Thank you in advance!

*EDIT* No need to anymore, as Hans_ was kind enough to post the results here:

I don't understand, how is running an mp3 encoder (Isn't that what lame is?)

"lame" stands for: "lame ain't an MP3 encoder"

I have my X1000 running.  Uploading a unboxing video to YouTube.  As normal a bit dark in spots but will get the point across I am sure.  I need to get better lighting for my place as it seems pictures and video is either grainy or dark because of poor lighting.

Will post a link soon once upload is done.

I also made another one turning on the X1000 for first time but it is even darker.  My office seems to be the worst in the house for lighting.  Will have to see if iMovie can lighten up a whole video but doubt it does that so you may have to live with it.  :madashell:

Only issue I have is my case was dented.  Appears Fed/X or whomever had their paws on it during transit to USA dented the vase.  I see a puncture mark on both boxes and I have a nice quarter size ding on the right panel.  So, have to now work with Amiga kit to get that replaced.  I guess they will need to turn in a claim to carrier and all that crap.  So, hope they get it all resolved.  I spent enough cash where I want to have a pristine machine in front of me.  Will save the boxes and all that as proof so I should be covered.

Other than that blemish, she is a beauty!

Some Videos.  Nothing grand but I think express my excitement opening and starting up my X1000.

This is me unpacking the AmigaOne X1000 today.

Congrats on your x1000! I can see the joy and pride you have with your new hardware  

As a Morphos user i will probably never get to experience that

Not sure if you noticed in the video but I have a Mac Mini G4 1.5GHz MorphOS ready system with 3 external Mac Mini Drives under it for bookoo storage and hubs.

Therefore plan is to learn and use both OS 4.1 and MorphOS.

Best of both worlds.

LOL. After watching your videos i suddenly have an urge to go out and buy a Sam or x500. If i watched these videos 2 weeks i probably would have as i had the money but i bought a surfboard instead  

Enjoy your new Amiga  

[AmigaNG]

A very nice setup you have there Amigasociety, real shame about the damage to the case, not that surprising though.

Hope you get it sorted. And I hope you enjoy your new Amiga.

****! So did you complain? What happened next?  :roflmao:

It could have been even worse than that though. It could have been a prop in Cast Away and ended up being called Wilson with a smiling face painted on the front  :lol:

I didn't think so.

All I've seen so far is a user drawing a conclusion based on what Trevor apparently sent him in an email.

Next phase could mean many things. Why being so vague? Something like new batch of X1000 would have been clearer.
