Just received my first oscilloscope! It's a Rigol DS1102E.

This weekend will be filled with techno goodness!

Because I don't know enough about scopes to know that I might need that. I asked another technically minded Amibayer (TheCorfiot) if it looked like it would fit my needs. He said yes, so I went for it. Really, it will kickstart me into learning about scopes and I'm sure I'll figure out what I need from there.why didn't you go for a mixed signal device? Especially with the type of electronics you seem to be concentrating on.
I know there's a 50MHz version of this scope that can be upgraded with a firmware patch to the 100MHz version that I purchased. I just didn't want to void my warranty right out of the box.are you going to hack the firmware?:-D

There are actually a ton of reviews about this particular scope that are most likely a million times better than anything I could put together with my limited knowledge. Still, I may do a review from a beginner's perspective once I've had some time to work with it. That may be valuable to others in my situation.are you going to do a review of some of the features of this oscilloscope in the future?![]()
Exactly! The 100MHz version was previously hundreds of dollars more so it was worth getting the less expensive one to hack. I believe there is currently about a $70 difference between the models so I decided to go with the officially supported 100MHz model.The price difference is also much smaller than it used to be.
Incidentally, does anyone know if the stock A500 PSU will struggle to run this setup, should I hack a PC psu for the job?

Nice buys
I'm using an A500 (4.5amp) PSU here with my A500+/ACA500 and it's fine, if you have any problems then go for a converted ATX but you should be OK as long as the PSU is serviceable.

Snagged a fantastic 3DO bundle, surprised to find the 3DO itself is brand new![]()
That's just sick :/ Completely unfair![]()
