Wow! That is really nice. Was that a UK special edition? All we got in the states were a Halo green transparent and a lime green Mtn. Dew limited edition.

I bought a C128D

- but sold a CSA Magnum 40/4 to fund it

. Seeing as I don't really use my 2000, I thought it a good thing to do but I can see that others will disagree

fitzsteve · 03 March 2010, 11:43

Put it this way, my A1200 tower project will be on hold for a long time!!

Oh and I'll have to make do with one kidney, but it'll be worth it...

chiark · 03 March 2010, 14:07

Thanks mate

I'm please I went with the 630 in the end, i've got a nice 32mb simm sitting here waiting to go in

Nope not that one...

chiark · 03 March 2010, 14:23

I don't have the 630, just the 620... it'll do

Did the guy have 2 of them or something, or did the high bidder not pay?

cosmicfrog · 03 March 2010, 14:33

go on how much did it cost fitzsteve

chiark · 03 March 2010, 14:36

Yep, he had a 2nd one and offered me a 2nd chance offer at my earlier bid

We negotiated, it works out at about £250

I know its OTT but its something quite unique, everyone's got an A1200 with a Blizzard but not many people can say they have an A630

I wonder how many were actually made?

Yep I know i'm mad

But I feel like a kid again getting a new toy...

chiark · 03 March 2010, 15:50

Excellent, what matters is that you're happy and it's worth it for that feeling

. It will be the ultimate 600 (well, short of chucking an 1200 in there

) and it's quite amazing that you can build an 600 into something very close to an Amiga 3000

!

I just hope you don't get stung for VAT

- fingers are crossed for you!
