All your chassis is futile it will be monolithed-2000 ;)


Franko is more popular than the A2000s looks.

Franko is also an Amiga, but the A600 and A3000T aren't.

I was just commenting about the aesthetics only, it LOOKS like the 3000d is half height cards, it looks like the pc jr version. Personally I think the 3000 is a bad ace machine !

@ MrsBeanbag...true it looks ugly compared to the 3000 and 1000, but it looks tougher IMO.

It's a tough choice between a 1000 and 3000D for me. I like the 1000's size and layout, and the keyboard garage is uber cool. But compared to the 3000D it can be a tad cheap and plain looking, in particular how the memory card slot can get a bit out of alignment when beat up.

I think on looks alone I'd have to vote for the 3000D. It's a nice size and the front grill design make it look more high end somehow.

Yeah, I was going strictly on looks too.

For functionality give me a 4000T.  It's the newest, biggest machine, so why not?

But the 3000D is tough to beat on looks alone and it's built like a tank.  It's probably my second favorite for functionality too, even with only ECS.  Drop in an RTG card and fast CPU and it's one hell of a machine until it overheats ;)

I like the A600 - it's simply cute. A3000 was my most dreamed of machine, hence I still like it.
CDTV was also cool, looked like hifi device of that time (a look i still like today). I disliked on CDTV that it used CD caddies.

I did not take aesthetics into account and voted for the A2000.
It simply easier to take apart, modify, and put back together.
Beauty in simplicity.

Nowadays it's possible to put high end electronics in low end chassi or low end electronics in high end chassi. And some are not originals at all ;)


You forgot the A3000T vs the A3000D. I prefere the T to the D.
