Only the miggy i got now other than that i`ve put pc`s together,i try to make them as high spec as possible but you have to be careful since money can big part in how high spec you make it,also you have to bare in mind how much a person is willing to pay if your asked to build one for someone.
I Used a Micronik Infinitiv Tower for the miggy, D Box is the only custom Amiga Tower available now unless you want to hack a pc midi tower to death which is not what i`d want to do these days. |

Don`t be jealous mate i ain`t got anything really that different to your miggy not really apart from a graphics card which saves on using normal memory, yeah means i can use a higher resolution on workbench and more detailed icons and wallpaper,i`d be happy with a bog standard A1200 and i had one for many many years,not even a ram upgrade did i have once and i was happy with that.
What i spent on the miggy you couldn`t even get a decent low end PC for, it was about ?400 but i bought everything new,even a new motherboard, i have got an 060 rom somewhere so maybe i`ll have to dig it out one day,just remember i`m sure you can play all games on your miggy and if that`s all you want it for then you don`t need a high spec miggy....trust me really you don`t. |

Yeah, i guess you only need a really high spec system if you're planning on using it as your main computer system - but i'm pretty happy with my setup at the moment.
I even use my 1mb A500 to play alot of games too ![Smile](images/smiles/icon_smile.gif) |
