Not the A2000, these were dirt cheap, even in 2010, nowadays about 10 times what I paid for them
Maybe true nowadays but, I have witnessed a few A4000D's go on the cheap.

Even got one for free, but did a donation back for it.
Point is, once replica's are out, it might be good to have something in there saying it's a replica.
Cause there will come a time that when a replica is made, it could be almost impossible to tell which is real and replica
These were mine, the first one went to Benny here in the Netherlands, the other one was sold and then sold on to someone in California USA.
They were both modified with Cyberstorms and othere cards like Picasso IV, Deneb and so on.
But sold with A3640 and A3630 and harddisk and CD/DVD drives.
I bought the first one for just 3 figures and the second one just over 4.
Nice machines, I can’t imagine selling mine, I leave the case open to keep thing a little cooler

One of my biggest regrets was not hiring a storage container to stash stuff but, at that time my mind was elsewhere traveling and chasing tail - The things we do for love ;-)

Where would my Zip Drive go if I did that!
Well Amiga 40 is coming up everywhere and I'm sure you will host an event there on the island where he will be also, but for Germany and Holland, if he's there, we'll have little chat about it to get it started, cause that might just be the thing that saves the last one in existence.
But we need someone to actually go to to him and do the 3D rendering.
Here is video of Trevor's collection, but I don't see it here. Could be stored somewhere else.

Here's another (Escom) Amiga 4000T owner!
Bought mine in 2007 here in Sweden. It came without a CPU card and any other expansions ... and no feet/stand. I have 3d printed copies of those now. But the original keyboard was included which oddly enough doesn't have the AT-size keyboard plug.
I have hardly used it since I bought it but the past month I have slowly started to resurrect it and give it some love.
I have thrown in a Commodore A3640 CPU card, Ariadne I NIC, Picasso IV (currently not working) and a Toccata sound card. I've also replaced the noisy SCSI HDD with a Zulu SCSI RP2040 which is awesome!
Here's some pics of the beauty and it's "birth certificate"

You will never truly be finished upgrading!Hiya, Been an A4000T owner for 8 months now. Almost finished the upgrades and build. One thing I really need, is the floppy drive model number. I have misplaced my original drive from it when I had it completely disassembled... I know sod's law will dictate I find it the day after I buy it's replacement :-(.

How does everyone deal with the fragile front door while the machine is in frequent use? The front door must be opened each time to power up the machine, or to insert or remove a CD or floppy disk. Leave the door open all the time and it's sure to get broken off at some point, no matter how careful you are. Where is the hardware reset button?
I can see why so many were broken or damaged over the years. For now I have the entire front panel off so I don't damage it while I am installing upgrades and imaging hundreds of floppy disks.

You cannot accuse Commodore of good engineering decisions!

When my system was my main computer (well over 20 years ago) I had the door removed. The PAR card and drive associated with it created quite a bit of heat so I had one of the drive bay covers removed and a small fan blowing in to cool it down.
Currently my 4000T is still apart on the floor as configuring is actively in progress.
