Hmm, I don't know, What do you guys think? A500 T5 Plus

Think it's worth the cash and wait? $565.00 USD + shipping

I prefer my wedge...  :)

Is that the same guy that makes the custom A1200 tower systems?

They could've at least done the 1MB chip ram mod.  512K chip is useless in an expanded system.  ;)

I'd like to see a small Zorro back-plane at the bottom into which the 500 mobo is sat.   Might as well make full use of the case while we're at it.

Yea, and the specs are all over the place in different parts of the listing. :confused:

What? No Warranty? Shocker..... :lol:

I'd definitely stick with my wedge!
To me it wouldn't feel like I was using a miggy otherwise...

Never used an A1000, A2000, A3000/T or A4000/T then?

Not back in the day I didn't so I enjoy the nostalgia kick of the old form factor, I remember drooling over the big box Amigas in the local computer shop but they were well out of the price range for a school kid with a weekend job! lol

I don't think its a rip-off or anything. I remember A1200 cases without bussboards, keyboard interfaces or anything except maybe a PS were over 200$ back in the mid to late 90s. This is an entire working computer almost :) yeah that 512k chip RAM is going to not be so much fun..

Totally respect what they are doing, like it, think its cool, and would not be surprised if the build quality was totally fantastic, but not for me...

Thats just me.  Jan in Norway apparently loves these things. Perhaps you should snap it up before she does!

No, but you could buy the parts cheaper and have fun putting it together.

You're paying for them to have the fun for you.

I'd rather have the fun and pleasure to build something like that myself.

It looks decent, and it looks like the seller has actually put some elbow grease into this machine.
