Hello/My New X1000 System

[Nagasakee]

Congrats on the X1000 Andy, you'll love it more as time goes by.  I like the case too,  but was wondering why you didn't select the default X1000 case though? Was it more storage room in yours?   No matter the reason, yours looks spectacular!

Great positive post - makes me want to join the X1000 owners club.

@Amigakit - did I read somewhere that you offer interest free finance payments… :-)

Just not that keen on the large tower style really, plus I wanted to spec everything to my taste (and I enjoy the physical building process!).

A Great build!

I agree 110% with your comments on OS4.1, it is brilliant.

Be Aware, you will have fun...

I vote that he makes a video of it, and some cool demos/music running on it, then upload it to porntube.com or whatever other porn site, and create a new category of "Computer Hardware" 'cause I'd wank to that.  :laughing:

Simply awesome!

Now that would be awesome

Hi

Yes, I can confirm we offer a lay-away scheme for customers.  We have a few who want to "save" up for their X1000 system and put a deposit to it every month or two.  Happy to help them out in any way we can.

How much are those beasts running for these days?  (Guess I could look it up, but am caught between my Linux machine and Macbook, trying to get work done with too much equipment swapping in front of me.)

Weren't there announcements for an X500?  

Also, I've always thought that if I were to buy an OS4 system, I'd want one of those netbooks that were being talked about a while back.

I have to say again that is one awesome build.

P.S.  Has anyone tried running Debian on the X1000, and if so any pros/cons.  Granted I probably wouldn't bother, since I already have several Debian systems, and I would rather play with OS4, just would be nice to use all of the hardware in it.

...I bought a lot of my bits from AmigaKit, and I have to give these guys a loud shout out for some truely outstanding service (in contrast to one or two other Amiga related companies it has to be said!) - nothing was/is too much trouble for them and shipping was fast and efficient. I've also seen AmigaKit get plenty of negative press in the forums and I have to say I'm staggered by this, and it's really my one negative about the current Amiga scene - the amount of negativity and pointless arguing is quite disappointing. It's a small community so surely it's only common sense that everybody pulls in the same direction rather than fighting each other?!?

gorgeous X1000 system & welcome back to Amiga Land :welcome  :clap

btw, do yourself a favour and copy the portion of your quote above for future use (especially the latter half) ;-)

Welcome and the carbide air case is pretty nice A little 3.5" rack inside the back chamber and I would buy the version without led fans and side window to little storage options now but still a nice case

you definitely would not like my carbide air then

I added even more LED fans and changed out the LEDs for ones that cycle through several colors.

Aaaarrgh, my eyes!! My important eyes!

Looks great! Welcome back.

[OCD] can you please rotate your case boing ball sticker by 90 degrees? It troubles me as it currently is! ;-) [/OCD]

Yes I agree please rotate the Boing Ball sticker...

I believe they have; you will find in depth Linux + X1000 information in the Hyperion forum
Platform: AmigaOne X1000 - Linux Only

OMG, looks like Christmas!  :laughing:

Off topic:

If the new Cyrus X5000 motherboard is released by itself, it might be nice to "go crazy" with its build; although the AmigaOne Fractal designed case with the engraved Boing Ball door is to die for. :-)

Haha Wow didn't know any manufacturer still did those fans :O not really my taste no, I personally go for performance and noise balance and in most cases PWM (Pulse-width modulation) fans, on radiators im really happy with the performance of the Cougar Vortex fans and for case airflow I usually use Noctua fans and some Fractal Design ones but in the past also Gentle Typhoon, tho the typhoons have trouble with the bearings when used face out horizontal for extended periods of time so don't use them anymore.

But hey we all have our own taste in what we like I'll translate an old Swedish saying but don't know if it makes any sense in English haha
"Taste is like the butt, split" Split as in divided, sounds a bit funky in English haha
