Splendid! You have bought it from the other bay add or this is the official production which has begun?
a few thrift-shopy bits, nothing too exciting, more of the usual, RuneRider had to come into town anyways to pick something up so we did a little bit of a run-around. (thanks John, if you are still alive 
)

Still here. I was up until 3am getting the Power Mac G5 I picked up working. I now remember why I dislike Macs so much, but for a few dollars I can't complain... except to say: Really? Come on, 12 years old OS's should not be that hard to find and install! The ghost of Jobs will haunt CrApple for a very long time.

They look awesome and the black is a beaut
Not so keen myself. I ordered the 'original' colour and ended up with something that looks whiter than any Amiga I've seen even when new.
If you want, I can exchange your ultrabright new case with an old, yellowed and original case !
The one I've ordered is transparent, but actually, it's totally invisible...

Brand new A4000!
Brand new A4000!
Well, new to me!
My first Amiga was an A500 when I was about 16 i think ... and I always wanted an A4000. So DutchInUSA sorted me out!
It has some issues with the chip ram slot, but I have some parts on order so hopefully I will be able to fix it. It gets all kinds of weird corruption, and won't do the HighGFX modes very well.
Already put a CF slot in the back, with a 16GB card that I prepared using my ACA500Plus A500 and it booted right up! So happy.
Have a quiet PSU on order, and have the ATX PSU kit from Amigakit ... its a noisy beast, haha.

That's kinda cool. Reminds me of my Telstar.
Not an Amiga but...
Not an Amiga but...
I had a call about a collection that was being given away by the daughter of the person who'd acquired the machines. After initially being told I could remove any of the items I wanted, a friend of this persons brother claimed the collection and quickly removed it. I was then told of a machine found in a large box of junk which had been missed.
While I'm unhappy about not acquiring what might have been a great collection I am pleased about what was left behind.
One new in box IBM 5150 version 1 that is complete and unused. :woot:
