Back in the day I used to envy my friends who had A3000's. I think it is probably the sexiest Amiga ever made. A few years back I've finally bought one. However as it turned out I never use it for anything... Back then they represented power. And like everybody else I wanted to play with 3D graphics. But today I have Lightwave 2015 on my PC for that and nostalgy or not I'm not a masochist to use an Amiga for that anymore... So these days when I feel like using an Amiga, I'll go for my beloved A500's or A1200's. So I started thinking about selling my A3000 again. However before I go down that route, I'm courious what else I could do to make it a more interesting...
According to you what are the most useful upgrades for a A3000 as of today?
(Currently I have an Indivision ECS in it as well as a SCSI-ATA bridge with CF card.)
In particular:
- Is the SCSI-ATA bridge still the best way to have a non-spinning HD replacement?
- Is there a recommended fan to replace the stock one on the power supply? (Or any other way to make it silent?)
- With the multitude of RAM options already on board and potentially on turbo cards is there a use for a BigRamPlus?
- Are X-Surf and USB cards truely useful for anything?
And of course any other ideas you can think of...
Many thanks in advance!
