so you can't play aga games, some  other games lacks of pictures, and you'll receive workbench in 16  colours
in my opinion 1200>2000>500+ BTW, who in present time generates analogue video?? I thought HD video is everywhere
in this case what is the difference between a600 and a2000? slow zorro-II?
I'm afraid the number of AGA games is just a fraction of  the Amiga gaming scene; further the A1200 lacks Zorro bus slots without  towerizing it; the ZorroIII slots are only used for RTG, FastlaneZ3,  and 2+ RAM cards, two of which are electronically identical (ZorRam & BigRam+).:insane:

  Using criteria of expandability, the A2000 ranks with the  A3000T and A4000T.  The 16-color Workbench has work around with the RTG  being the fastest -- I have seen a HAM workbench with 4096 colors.  In my opinion, based on criteria of expandability, ease to work on, build quality, usability, ownership, and value, the A4000T > A4000D > A3000T  > A1200T > A3000D >A2000 > A1200 > A6/500 > A1000; the only I have not owned is the A3000T.:cry:

  By the way, try to work with mixing live video, analogue or  digital, for less than $10,000.  Only a fraction of the world has HD  compared to SD.  The Toaster came as a pretty complete package: video mixing, character generation, 3D object creation (and animation), and paint.  Current NewTek products start in the $20,000 USD range and up.:angel:

Games just a fraction but they exist. On my computer also...
What for Zorro slots need? To place slow SCSI, PC emulator, network or slow graphic card?
A1200 has PCMCIA slot, so no need scsi or zorro network
And 1200's AGA produce not bad picture on LED monitor through x-rgb :p

I say good on you for getting that price for hardware that is nothing more than a collectors item. You can take a $200 PC today and make it do more than that A4000T ever could do with the best hardware upgrades ever released for them. If your wanting that look you can find near identical full AT towers free all over and slap an Amiga sticker custom made to look like the face of the A4000T printed on the best vinyl with the best color printing and still have enough to spend on a lot more other useful things.

I love Amiga as much as any of us, but the prices I see these days people pay just for the sake of having old hardware that you fight to keep working and do anything more useful than run archaic software is just beyond me.

Go out and get yourself an OS4 based machine or better yet a nice clean G5 Powermac and run the latest MorphOS.
