A3000 Tower

[nyteschayde]

As the multitudes have stated, it has value. I think it is quite possibly my favorite form factor of the Amigas. I'm in California, USA. If you are in the hereabouts, and it works, let me know what you wanting and/or if you are interested in any other hardware; Amiga or otherwise that might start some trading. Actually, scratch that, does "ladies first" apply here?

When I was in college a number of people had the Amiga 3000T with AMIX. The 3070 and a CD drive mounted just fine inside the tower. It was a nice design from Commodore. It was heavy but solid.

You have PM (I think) it didn't show in my sent folder

Thanks for your answer
I have to check battery and if its booting, the processor is a 030
I located in Sweden, yes its quite heavy so shipping is not an option.

Quick answer, yes.

More detailed answer, it depends on several things.

1.  Is the motherboard battery still in place?  Is it leaking?  If so, that will definitely reduce the value of the computer.
2.  Does it even boot up?  BIG affect on value.
3.  Which version is it?  3000T/030 or /040, or 3500?  That's usually found on a sticker on the back panel.  IF I remember correctly.
4.  Where are you located?  If I remember correctly, that thing weighs a TON!  Shipping could be quite painful.

As far as a monitor, it has vga output so just about any standard PC monitor will work with it.  Just make sure the 15KHz/31KHz switch is set to 31.  So you can at least set it up and see if it works and what you have.

That's my 2 cents.  Anyone else want to chime in?

Oh, BTW, if someone tells you it's absolutely worthless and you should just give it to them, laugh at them and walk away.

No PM, I guess I live quite far away, and shipping i guess costs a fortune.

I always thought the design was a bit severe, too PC like and industrial. The regular pizza box A3000 case is so much more cute ;-)

I much prefer the soft lines of the C= A4000T case with the beautiful smokey plastic window ;-) Shame it wasn't practical for ESCOM/AT to use the original bezel design.

[BozzerBigD]

The A3000T should have been more like this (without the Intel Inside sticker :-():

If it works, some of us crazy enough and may be willing to pay the shipping.  Further, I am sure you could also find a European buyer.

I think that most of us would probably agree that the A3000T and/or A4000T are the most desirable amigas to acquire.

I sent you a message to get in touch with John Hertell in Sweden. He is also someone that would love to take a look at it and get it working if it has problems. I am sure he would also be willing to make an offer on it.

Thanks, but I did manage to get it running.... But did not found the keyboard and I seems to have playing with linux earlier, so I'm a bit stuck

You can tell from you pictures that the A3000T is the 68030 version (ie no 3640 processor card) and is has the original 2.0 roms

I would immediately check to see if the battery was  removed........

Also what happens when you attempt to boot to 0 - Amiga?

The battery is still there looking ok. Did not found my keyboard .... I think it s some software emulatipn of 3.1 Roms installed.

The A3000T prototype case looks nice with clean lines and nice C= grill design! The machine was sold in 2015.

I would still consider removing the battery, or taking it to someone to remove it, and putting a coin cell adapter in it.  Also if you post a few more pics, particular  of the motherboard and  expansion cards and maybe run whichamiga or sysinfo and post more information.

I think you could get alot "more" of interest....
I say more because we are all interest in it
