Not me. What's the point of two old units when you can buy a new one for about the same price?

Even better: convert your Mac into a proper TOS machine for free!

Nice but typical CRAp description, really cut n paste a WALL OF TEXT, yes I can look up specifications and history lessons on my own, geez why cannot these people post detailed information about the actual machines they are selling you? Condition, how well they are working, whether they come from a clean smoke free home, any extras or add-ons? Oh and some separate paragraphs might be nice too.

It's a bit more, for a new one!

 

€622 for the board, €87 for the case, €26 for shipping = €735, which is about $941 U.S. plus 2.5% ($23.50) Paypal conversion fee puts it about $964.50!!!

 

I still think it's awesome, but any time I can pile up that much cash, I just get a new "regular" PC upgrade.

 

I'd like to have a traditional, Falcon, but they're just GROSSLY overpriced (IMO) and they never really got any software support, relative to the ST. If I could find a mint-in-box reasonably-priced, I'd want one just "for the collection."
